North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
I relocated back to NJ from Charlotte last summer. I was doing taxes tax season dried up. Wifey was stressing me about not working so I said fukk it and got a job.

Since I’ve been at this company I’ve gained 20 lbs, got COVID and the work/life balance was ass. It was 60% travel so I’m driving into New York 3 days a week, plus 10 other locations in NJ. The company is a mom and pop trying to act like their big time. I wasn’t trained properly, so I was giving presentations not knowing half the shyt I was talking about. Every month I have to fix mistakes the accountants make on financial statements. And the most of the clients for the accounts I manage are a$$holes. Finally, the managers… well most of the account managers under me are incompetent.




So I’m going to get fired on purpose after I reach my one year anniversary so I can get my 3 month severance and unused vacation. Then I’m a start a mobile detailing business. I formed it in March and got most of my equipment. Just need to get a van and I’m good. I already have 6 clients lined up, one of which is one of the accounts that I manage (luxury apartment building). I made a deal to detail resident vehicles with a 80/20 split.


This working for other people shyt, I can’t do no more. Employees bytching and complaining, deadlines, unrealistic expectations from corporate who don’t do shyt but get paid like kings and queens. I got a property under construction in Ghana and when complete it will make that Airbnb $$$.


What drove me to this is simple. I asked myself, where do I see myself in 5 years. Do I want to be here in 5 years? Would anything be different? Easy decision.

And for anyone wondering how much it pays.. $92,178.33. Still not worth it.

Congratulations. I think most of us want to get to a point of not depending on people that have no real interest in us.

I know a few that are in the same boat or have already jumped ship. I haven’t even been able to take a vacation because I’m covering for other people, doing their work for them because they’re incompetent.

I bet your wife wants a vacation too :unimpressed:
Breh, she bytching and complaining all the time. We were supposed to go to Ghana last month, but I couldn’t get time off. And most of the time on the weekend, I don’t want to be doing shyt.

That offfice life, that middle management life just ain’t for me no more. Tired showing fake company spirit like I give a shyt:mjlol:

I hate to be that nikka bruh, but even running your own shyt means you work for someone in some form, plus the hours you put in owning your own shyt can lowkey be more than a regular gig. But I wish you success bruh

Yeah, but..

If I work extra time and my job, the company makes a little more money for the month. I don’t get shyt. With your own shyt, you reap all the rewards. It requires more discipline no doubt, and the stakes are a lot higher, but the payoff is greater.

At this job, the most I can clear every year is 5% pay increase and a 15% performance bonus which the IRS takes half of.

And op you definitely doing too much for 92k.

And you have an accountant background?

You mean you couldnt find a cushy remote job that pays you at least 80-120k....

:dahell:

You shouldnt have to be doing that 60% travel. The medical field is always hiring.

I don’t have a degree. I’m good with numbers tho :manny:

I’m an Area Manager for client accounts in New York and New Jersey. The reason why I have to fix accountant mistakes is because the way they have shyt set up is all over the place. They use Dropbox to store financial documents and agreements. When someone leaves the company, they don’t disconnect their email so every month the entire company email list gets hit with fishing/malware emails. Damn near everything is outsourced including IT shyt.
