    Ohhh I'm so glad I found someone who has been in both Accounting and Finance. I am currently in an Accounts Receivable Role while going back to school for my MBA. I'm becoming more interested in being a Financial Analyst than an Accountant. I have a very data-analytical mind, but I wouldn't mind handling the daily accounting transactions. I'm not sure what to do lol.

    • @LifeofReHC
      @LifeofReHC  2 роки тому +2

      Well congrats in advance on getting your
      MBA! 👏🏾👏🏾 my advice is go with what feels right when it comes to employers and take advantage of internships so you can get a feel for the work before you commit. But both careers are interchangeable in my opinion especially with that mba in your back pocket 🥳

      @@LifeofReHC Thank you so much! I've been talking to both of my managers about my next steps during our one on one meetings. I have a Financial Reporting Manager and a Senior Accountant. They are going to give me both accounting and financial analysis tasks to do with the upcoming year, so I can get a feel of both sides. I decided to go back, so I can have a better advantage for promotions and higher salaries. My MBA concentration is Accounting, but i'll be finishing a year early, so I thought about adding a Data Analytics concentration.

    New subscriber and I loved this video! I just finished my first internship in public accounting (audit) and WOW these people work a lot. I'm going to grad school now, so I'm trying to decide if I want to stay in public accounting. Also love the advice you gave during you're lunch break! Work life balance is something I value too.

Public accounting is not an easy profession lol so definitely weigh your options and look at your values when deciding like you said. All the best & rooting for you all the way! 👏🏾🤎

    Hi. Being a Finance Analyst, is there a lot of talking on the phone with clients? I have an Accounting degree but i have extreme social anxiety+introverted and so looking to get into a field that does not involve talking on the phone, but i'm clueless. xx

    Should I go for BS Commerce degree?
    Will it be beneficial?
    Isn't it become an old fashioned degree?
    Will it guarantee a successful future ?

    • @LifeofReHC
      @LifeofReHC  2 роки тому +2

      Definitely up to you!! I think commerce is still a beneficial and versatile degree but it depends on where you see yourself down the road. More times than not, a business degree leads to some likelihood of success 👍🏾

    I’m currently in audit looking for a switch into financial analysis. Do you recommend this move? I personally find the tasks of auditing mundane and personally just not very interesting. Do you find financial analysis more interesting?
    Thanks!

    • @LifeofReHC

      Yea I definitely get it and that’s one of the main reasons why I wanted to pivot from audit. It gets monotonous. I would definitely say financial analysis has been way more interesting and challenging especially when working in an industry that I have interest in understanding 😊 hope that helps and all the best. 🫶🏾
