Plus obsolescence risk is very real in tech. You'll always be vulnerable to competition from cheaper coders (from third world countries) and younger ginnas (fresh grads). New coding language etc. If you're the kind who refuse to continually upskill, you will be made obsolete very quickly. Already all of you complaining about new accounting standards. U seriously think you are hardworking enough to retool yourself?
There are many other fields where you can make a decent buck with good WLB. Not just IT. But anyway, you all chose the wrong field in accounting. |
Third tier firm = Tan & Co Audit Firms
Obsolescence risk = IFRS 116 and all that jazz
Cheaper coders = jhk acca boleh
New coding language = new accounting standards. don't learn also cannot so it's not like we aren't learning. might as well get paid more doing that.
Please enlighten us what field in accounting apparently pays a decent buck with WLB. Please don't say FP&A or GL accounting because we still have to OT every month and quarter like nuts. AP AR pays like crap. Maybe HR?
