A very great video man. I can tell you for a fact that working in one of the big 4 firms isn’t easy while trying to balance your gym life. Keep motivating. MUCH LOVE FROM YOUR FELLOW GYM BRO IN NIGERIA 🇳🇬 ❤️💪🏻
Passing the CPA exams is when you study hard, if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Dylan.
I don’t know how honestly you can answer this since your company might see, but if you could go back in time, would you still choose accounting? Do you see a long term financial gain from this career? Or just getting by?

Damnn tryna become a chartered accountant in india, this is really inspiring ! Would definitely love to know more as a person tryna become a ca and be a gym bro 👊 at the same time.
the leadership conferences are organized by the companies and you apply for them like you would for internships but it's meant for sophomores in college
Wait bro you said 30 hours a week when it’s not busy season ? Thats crazy haha. Also is there kind of like unlimited PTO or is it 2 weeks of the year ? Thanks
Yeah 20-30 hrs when its not busy on average, theres slower days for sure tho. There is 2 weeks of PTO and also 2 separate firm shutdown (holiday) weeks at big4
They were company specific leadership conferences. So you would apply to them freshman/sophomore year like an internship but the conference is only for 2-3 days and they typically give you an internship offer after. Its also a great resume booster to apply for internships the following year
Honestly it was connections with my school and big four accounting firms. I do regret not trying a finance internship so definitely get your feet wet in both fields if you are unsure
@tanleychen2584 accounting is a broad term you can do audit, finance, taxation, adversy, consultanting or even entrepreneur. I think he did accounting because of it. An Cpa or CA accountant can be a finance guy. With time and experience accountants grow really good
Should one go into accounting before getting into investment banking and any buy-side finance role, should one be considering accounting if he can't afford to go for an MBA or even a master's in finance?
@@leoxlsb Look, one can't easily get IB internships and I see many I-Bankers have experience in accounting as it helps them. Many of them are CPAs in the Big 4 then do Master's in Finance and then break into IB. Doesn't that make sense to you?
@@leoxlsb What if I was pursuing a Master's in accounting STEM degree to keep my ass in the US, because then only I can have the 3-year work visa, and it is an assured placement program. Doing CPA along with accounting can help me to land in Mergers and Acquisitions and then in the front-end office of IB,?
this channel is gonna blow up man, enjoy the process💪🏻greetings from austria

That view of the skyline is amazing. I am near graduation and very excited to get started.
That’s a nice office space. I feel like some other office spaces seem so depressing. lol
Nice video 🥰🥰🥳your video is so cool, honestly Cpa exam is such a difficult test man ,really don’t know what to do but I’m never losing hope

People keep talking about Dylan all over
TH-cam, he must be a very awesome help.
Yes you're correct but remember heaven helps those who help themselves, try studying if you can't study then get yourself a good help
I studied for months and couldn't pass, I guess passing is a blessing
passed mine after studying so hard, I'm not discouraging anyone just wanna say do whatever you believe will help you pass.
thank you for this video. Really enjoyed it
guy you were working out with is so handsome and big my goodness

in busy season what is your workout schedule like? i start my first busy season next year and i want to start getting ready😅
The algorithm has led me to an up and coming big hitter I see.
Appreciate it! Hoping to make it big

thanks! just watched your latest video and you do a great job story telling
nice vid, seems like a very cool career
Could u make a video on how you got into the big four if you don't mind? And plus, are u permanent resident or citizen?
if you don't mind me asking, whats the salary for someone in your position?
Damnn tryna become a chartered accountant in india, this is really inspiring !
Would definitely love to know more as a person tryna become a ca and be a gym bro 👊 at the same time.
Keep going man you got this!
@@leoxlsbthanks man !
All the best . Now you are on which level? Like foundation, IPCC or Final?
Looks like the KPMG office in Chicago….

hey great video. I had a question tho what is a leadership conference and who organize them
the leadership conferences are organized by the companies and you apply for them like you would for internships but it's meant for sophomores in college
My good

@@leoxlsb20-30 hours of billable work, so 10-20 of admin?
Would love to know more about the type of leadership conferences you attended? We’re they strictly accounting industry conferences?
They were company specific leadership conferences. So you would apply to them freshman/sophomore year like an internship but the conference is only for 2-3 days and they typically give you an internship offer after. Its also a great resume booster to apply for internships the following year
What is a decent amount of salary you can get in USA after doing ACCA 2 years experience
around 90,000-100,000
As a freshman finance major, what resonated with you to go with accounting?
Honestly it was connections with my school and big four accounting firms. I do regret not trying a finance internship so definitely get your feet wet in both fields if you are unsure
Save yourself bruh, do not go into Big 4 accounting. Do anything you can to avoid public accounting, it's ass.
@@gadoosher honestly I have no interest in accounting. just wondering what prompted him to take this path
phew.. I've made it my life goal to save at least one person from big 4, so I'm glad you're on the right path already lol@@stanleychen2584

if you want to go into banking, I highly suggest finding an ib internship during college and recruiting for full time offers after
accounting would be a waste of time and difficult to break into ib afterwards

Which firm do you work for, because everyone else says the big4 firms is hell 😭
LOL it is hell Ill disclose in a later video
I am taikng the cpa but hate accounting the people are the worst
Sounds like you do 4 months of real work
Will the accounting experience be worth it?
In my opinion if you want growth Do CPA nothing less than this
@@saikatsaha4122 and what if I want to break into IB or Private Equity afterwards!? What should I do afterward?
Why did you choose tax?
I didn't want to travel to client sites and wanted me routine work then
@@leoxlsbwait what? leo what do you mean by that if you don’t mind me asking ❤
@@escano2r755 tax doesnt require traveling to client sites which was a plus to me back then
