What Do You Actually Do for Work?

Hello all,

Currently finding myself in a position for where I feel "stuck" in the corporate world.

Purpose of this post is to find out what other roles are out there, and just spark dialogue RE: different professions.

Without the fluff, and without trying to sell your job, knowing this is an anonymous forum and you've no pride to protect, what really is your job…what does it require you to do? And if you're comfortable disclosing, roughly what do you earn?

I feel like when I ask my colleagues/friends/network, they're all always hyping up their role in an attempt to "sell" how happy they are.

I'll kick us off - I work as an Auditor at a B4 firm. My job requires me to go on-site to where my clients are located, to "test" their financial statements. i.e. The annual report that they release each year, and the numbers within it…their integrity is the responsibility of my team.

It involves a lot of reperforming, and recalculating what the client has calculated. i.e. if they say they have a couple hundred mil in a bank account, we call their bank/s and double check that the balance is indeed correct.

It's a pretty boring job because it's pretty repetitive. Plenty of menial/robot-like work.

What about you?

Edit: me, $60-$70k approx

Thanks

        60k base and no cap incentives. If business is good then hopefully I could double that.

      Do you actually want to do accounting as a profession? If you do, then probably good idea to get CPA/CA. If not, then there are other areas for growth that isn't a traditional accountant.

      By what you described, you are not a business analyst per se. You are more a office all rounder

      • PAPower on 11/09/2019 - 23:38

        Yes I quite like management accounting & operational finance. What are other areas are there?

        • monkeybusiness on 12/09/2019 - 00:43

          I found it most powerful is when you are able to combine disciplines together. e.g I leveraged accounting and IT to fill an area that is in demand in helping automate a lot of accounting tasks.

  • DeafMutePretender on 11/09/2019 - 22:59

    Without the fluff, and without trying to sell your job, knowing this is an anonymous forum and you've no pride to protect, what really is your job

    Like you, I'm also a uni student but I work as a sugar baby at night (or escort or prostitute whatever you want to call it).

    what does it require you to do?

    Mainly keeping older men company. Sometimes it involves being intimate, but a lot of the times, my clients just want the girlfriend experience (handholding, watching a movie together etc) because it's something they never had for whatever reason.

    And if you're comfortable disclosing, roughly what do you earn?

    It depends on how many clients I go through and how generous on the tips they are so it's hard to put an hourly rate like most jobs have. But let's put it this way: my student debt has already been paid for (and then some). There's honestly no shortage of money-rich but lonely men out there and it will get worse in the future. Worse as in there will be an increase of lonely men (demand) but from a supplier point of view, it will get even more lucrative. Sorry, didn't mean to sell my job, just telling it like it is!

    High School D&T teacher. I love my job. I have free reign to teach any subject I want to offer in the technology stream, and make up all my own projects. Work 8-4 and have 12 weeks vacation a year. Downside to teaching is no choice on when you can take leave. 7 years in the job and $110k salary. Hoping to get promoted in the next year or two with more management time, and will probably top out at $130k in 2021.
    Downside with teaching is that usually you hit the peak in salary on about 10yrs and there is not much past that.

    • imurgod on 12/09/2019 - 06:45

      Such a noble and important job. I admire teachers.

    • profar on 12/09/2019 - 13:01

      Actually a lot of people don't realize how easy it is to get in the first level for teaching and the big plus is 2/12 ( 16.67% ) extra holidays with full pay vs other jobs . Another big plus is it up to the individual how far they want to go with further studies for higher positions .

      • shadmaster4 on 13/09/2019 - 08:17

        From my experience and observations across both public and private schools you can ascent to a director role without further education. That's essentially the level below vice principal. But I think I would like to explore educational consulting once I've plateaud.

    I work in the manufacturing industry managing inventory and forecasting. I don't feel it's a secure job as fluctuations in the economy have impacts on the business which effect our revenue.

    If I could go back, I most likely would have chosen another career which offers more security.

  • cheeksahoy on 12/09/2019 - 10:33

    I'm in telecommunications. I travel a lot but am home most weekends. The pay isn't bad considering how long I've been in the field. My travel allowance can boost my income somewhat. Because it is tax exempt, it can mean a great deal more than overtime if I travel sparingly. I've slept in tents instead of motels (which some people do for recreation, I guess) for instance. Due to the tax thing, I often clear the same or a little more than what the ATO says I've grossed. Pretty sure I'm doing better than my manager in that regard. The work itself isn't glamourous but it is challenging, but my company doesn't value it's employees or their sacrifice. I don't bother making plans anymore because chances are, I won't be available. I am being vague for a reason.

            @SlowCarSlow: I work at the store with my partner. We both do about 50 ~ 60 hours a week. We also employ about 12 people working at the store. Age range from 15 year old to 60 year old. Full time, part time and casuals.

        • ihbh on 12/09/2019 - 18:05

          What due diligence did you undertake before buying? What were the risks of the venture (e.g. they staff with unpaid family members)?

          • michaelTito on 12/09/2019 - 18:35
            +1

            @ihbh: The most important one was the turnover(sale). We had to make sure the store takes in whatever they advertised it as with the agent. I had to go and sit in the parking lot and do customer counts for 2 weeks straight. By knowing the customer count, you can easily work out the take it. Average customer spend about $10.

            Keep in mind I did all that before I declared interest.

            And yes the shop was staffed with underpaid workers. As soon as I took over I bumped everyone to the correct wage. Keep in mind that the staff are mostly australians students.

        • [Deactivated] on 13/09/2019 - 21:38

          A price earnings multiple of almost 1:1 is astounding - was this maintaining existing trade or did you somehow increase it?

            @[Deactivated]: We increased it. We are almost at 2x the original turnover. We introduced ubereats, meanulog and deliveoo. These alone upped our sale by 20%. All we did was put our shop on the app and orders keep flowing in.

      • Carmen Sandiego on 12/09/2019 - 16:46

        @michaelTito That depends on a lot of factors, most of which I can't really explain without a bunch of information.

        Commercial insurance is a bit of a different beast to your home and car insurance. Everything can be a factor, especially things outside your control (e.g. how the Insurer weighed up the type of risk you have in comparison to the rest of the businesses out there).

        Definitely have a chat with your broker and if they can't explain the situation, you're free to change brokers.

    • GOB on 12/09/2019 - 17:05

      What type of financial complaints? From consumers? Of banking products?

      • Brianqpr on 13/09/2019 - 11:20

        From customers/clients of financial advisers. I deal with mainly disputes referred to the financial ombudsman, now known as AFCA.

        The royal commission means it is now boom time in complaints! This is unlikely to change anytime soon and AFCA is even doing a national roadshow soon to raise awareness among consumers. Also, tighter timeframes for responding to complaints may be introduced by the regulator next year, meaning more staff needed and upward pressure on salaries, which has already happened.

        Its not for everyone. You have to be quite resilient in the face of a sea of negative feedback and have the technical knowledge to be able to review financial advice and assess whether it was appropriate.

    Without going too hard into the selling element, most of the day-to-day is repetitive, but i enjoy the strategic side and seeing the results delivered.

    Some notable "cooler" things i've done - particularly in my last role include going on photoshoots and magazine article trips where you'd be away for up to a week 4wding, camping and generally just hanging out with colleagues in the wilderness whilst setting up for photos, writing a bit of content/ideas for articles when you're back in the office, and learning the tips and tricks from more experienced campers and outdoorsmen than you.

    Firefighter. 5 years in. Pay rising steadily due to overtime/promotion. 120k+. Two 10 hr days, two 14 hr nights then four days off (but I work overtime on my days off to support the fam.)

    The job involves rocking up to work and having a laugh at handover with the previous shift, then taking care of the days most important decision - what's for lunch or dinner. Check the trucks are ready for operations, conduct varied training, conduct admin tasks eg clean trucks or visit a school to provide a safety presentation to kids or visit a high risk premise to confirm we are across their businesses' nuances. (These admin tasks are a large part of the job.) Respond to emergencies as they arise.

    In terms of the emergencies we respond to fires are a small piece of the pie, it's often cardiac arrests/drug overdoses supporting the ambulance service as well as car accidents, HAZMAT response, trench rescue, steep angle rescue and 100 other benign or tragic events.

    Fantastic job with great conditions, colleagues and sense of accomplishment if you don't mind confined spaces, exposure to heat, heights, manual labour, an elevated occupational rate of cancer due to exposure to carcinogens and trying to resuscitate those near death and then notifying their families if it doesn't work out.

        I think one of the biggest problems is the unacredited:acredited ratio, at my hospital it's 8:1, with 2 NeuroSx theatres a day leads to choas between the trainees. Add to that the ridiculous egos of most of them, and it all just goes to sh*t. Which is really sad to be honest.

    Hospital doctor. Got tired trying to make it as a webdev in the early 2000s and all that went along with that, had a few family members die and decided to change careers. Almost finished training, pay varies wildly depending on what my roster is but the bills are paid and the kids get birthday presents which is all I care about. The most interesting part of my job is trying to work with families of patients who are trying to safely navigate a beast of a health system. Best thing about my job is seeing people get better, making sure that if not getting better, they're comfortable and families feel supported, and most importantly my colleagues. Get to work with people from all walks of life and it's like a big family.

    Would not recommend as a career change these days until structural issues sorted out - too many junior doctors, not enough specialty training places, problem getting worse and worse every year, suicide rate increasing. I think the advice given by other people who've been in a similar position to you is really good and I'll just add, find your tribe. Your passion is meaningless if the people you have to work with are awful. If you like a job but love the people, you're in the right room. The place that you go to where you just click with people is the right place for you, it can be very very hard to find but if you keep trying you will.

    I’m a strategy Advisor for a big 4 bank. I analyse options and provide strategic recommendations for the bank’s internal property requirements (ie what buildings we put people in).

    It’s actually a very fun and rewarding role - I work with key internal colleagues, and external consultants (landlords, leasing agents, architects, builders, technology), to define an end to end property solution. Anything from 30 people to 10,000 people requirement, anyway in Australia and overseas.

    The rewarding part is I work closely with the head of our division (who reports to the CFO), who looks to me for strategic advice. I also regularly produce papers/packs to present to CFO/CEO/ sometimes board.

    Note, a lot of my time is spent analysing and synthesising data in excel, and pulling together in PowerPoint, then presenting to internal forums.

    I have a Bachelor of commerce, majors in finance and Property development (graduated in 2010) and an MBA (graduated in 2018). I’ve been in this role for 3 years, and earn mid 100’s.

      Impressive! Did you stick with bank all the way through your career? What was your starting position?

      • geoffs87 on 13/09/2019 - 14:18

        I did, I started in a call centre in early 2011, was a team leader within 12 months, stayed there for about 2-3 years, then moved onto a business analyst role for 2-3 years also. All at the same company :)

          Looks like I'm travelling in a near identical path as you so far.

          Bachelor of Commerce, worked in a call centre as well and was also promoted to a team leader within the year. Currently at the 2.5 year mark and will be applying for some internal BA roles soon.

    Babysitter… I mean relief teacher.

    I graduated with a finance degree many many years ago but was very bored with the terrible government job I got. I found out that once you have a degree it was only a 1 year grad dip to become a school teacher so decided to do that.

    I really enjoyed being a primary school teacher for a few years but the every increasing demands on teachers got too much. There was so much emphasis on reporting and testing and anything involving data and very little on actual learning or the fun of school. Combined with the poor support for special need student and those with severe behavioral problems I decided to leave.

    However, I recently returned to teaching in a relief teaching capacity and am quite enjoying that at the moment.
    It is a lot less fulfilling as you are often only there for a day, so you cant make the connections with the kids and are often just doing busy work rather than teaching meaningful things.
    But its great to arrive at 8am and be out the door by 2.30pm and avoid all the planning, testing, marking, reporting, assembly items, parent teacher interviews, observing other teachers, being observed, decorating rooms, cleaning, etc. etc.

    Pays about 400 a day, however, it is casual work so no holiday or sick day pay.

    Biggest problem for me is I am not an overly motivated person to work and it is far too easy to just ignore my phone ringing in the morning as schools chase me to cover their sick teachers

    Worked in the Big 4 for five years in IT, hated everything about it, took a go at becoming a cop and here I am five years later.

    Two basic kinds of day, being inside the watch house which means general enquiries, signing documents, taking reports and fixing up briefs of evidence for court.

    Being outside means driving around, responding to jobs as they occur, general traffic enforcement and drinking coffee from McDonald's.

    The shift work can be hard but it's pretty rewarding work. I'm on around 95k but hoping to do upgrading as a sarge soon.

    In this day and age of iOS, Android, IOT and Cloud, currently I am working as a VBA Developer. For the uninitiated, I write macros for Excel & Access to automate many tasks. Officially my title is Business Analyst (BA) and although I perform some BA related tasks in my role, I spend majority of my time looking after VBA code.

    Shout out to those who are still proud to wield this powerful but often overlooked tool.

    Edit: Pays about 700 a day

      Nice! What industry are you in?

      • suchan on 23/09/2019 - 15:09

        sorry just saw your reply. I'm in Transportation industry but needless to say, this can be used anywhere i'm in.

    • Bozman on 13/09/2019 - 23:15

      Awesome! I’ve used VBA a lot when working in Big 4 to build models for clients. Tend to try and steer clear of it now, but can appreciate the power of it.
