7 things I wish I knew before becoming an accountant – both studying for the chartered accountancy qualification (CA, CPA, ACA) and my accountancy degree. An accounting career can be quite versatile and there’s no set way to have an accounting job and this is basically what I’ve slowly learned over the last few years! ⏱️ timestamps: 00:00 – 00:42 introductioné 00:42 – 2:00 not about the numbers 2:00 – 3:14 people skills matter 3:14 – 4:09 opportunities are endless 4:09 – 5:16 transferable skills 5:16 – 5:57 straighten your back 5:57 – 7:14 mental health should be a priority 7:14 – 9:15 the exams are hard 9:15 – 10:08 thanks for watching! ⌁ recent videos ⌁ Roasting my cover letters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORxOsbh9wq0 First-time buyer experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AymHZTRQrNk&t=2s Junior v Senior auditor day-to-day https://youtu.be/arnFL_yxo1c ⌁ career tips ⌁ What does a Junior Auditor ACTUALLY do? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-TCjokRfWY Tips for your corporate job: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_hoSOscFvE Big 4 recruitment tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXBTytq8gwc&t=2s ⌁ save money ⌁ Avoid these MONEY MISTAKES if you’re a STUDENT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTBAJp1pBu0&t=74s Pay yourself first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qya-rJm0Ulk Frugal living tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcLHxSP92cU 〰️〰️〰️ 🌞Elsewhere on the internet: Instagram ⇢ devamsha Blog ⇢ http://www.devamsha.com Pinterest ⇢ devamsha FREE competency bible for big 4 interviews ⇢ https://devamsha.com/resources 📹Made possible by: Music ⇢ Lukrembo – Memories https://soundcloud.com/lukrembo/memories Software ⇢ Final Cut Pro 〰️〰️〰️ 🙎🏾‍♀️Me This channel is all about empowering you to not have it all figured out, by sharing videos that were really fun to make.

  1. Hope you enjoyed today’s video guys! Anyone else a bumbers person 🥴 thank the lawd for autocorrect lol

  2. With the posture thing i think the gym could help a lot cause i know that improved my posture loads.

  3. Really enjoyed this video, i finished my first year in uni with finance and control and will probably be switching to accountancy which is doable without having to start over. This video gave me a nice insight on the life as an accountant. I dropped a sub and will probably look into your other videos too. Keep up the good work!!

  4. Just started watching the channel ..am really passionate about accounting..thank you for sharing
    But what kind of people skills exactly?

  5. I don’t understand myself at this point, I am math major, I have done entry level graphics design job, data analyst job, teaching, personal trainer and now accounting!

    1. wow i love this for you! nothing to understand, you have a lifetime to find something you enjoy! good to have the PT knowledge as an accountant i think 😆

  6. I have my associates degree in accounting but have problems finding a job because they all told me they want someone with experience already. Can you give advice about getting the experience to get hired?

    1. There are two ways to work this out. Either get experienced with your associate degree or get your bachelor’s. A Bachelor’s degree brings you to a whole new level. The courses are a lot more difficult. You definitely need to devote time and hard work to them. As a return, way more job opportunities after that!

  7. I have a bachelors in another field (psychology) an associates in bio and would like to take non degree courses to obtain a cpa. Would it be ok to take non degree courses and look for a job after with the certification? Every job listing seems to be adamant about “bachelors in finance or related field”

  8. If I do APPRENTICESHIP in UK and later on I decide to move abroad would I be able to get Job abroad based on my accountancy apprenticeship-degree if not what subject should I choose in University for accountancy ?

    Your answer will be much appreciated?

  9. Love this video! I recently got an offer from one of the Big 4. Glad that I found this video now! Thanks for the advice! Subscribed to your channel right away!
