What . The . Fuck . <| sep |> Apparently in FFX the ingame ones involve no in good the character models around or something , that ' s why . <| sep |> Je t ' ajoute quand mme au sub du parti p <| sep |> I interned at a tech company that was a step below them but still publicly traded and just outside the F 500 but at one point higher . I was interning as a programmer , but trying to network my way into the FPA group . Pay is sweet . They only hired experienced accountants , but FPA direct out of college was making ~$ 72 k , senior FPA was ~ 90 k and 100 k with RSU ' s . Most the accountant I talked to were managers and above and less open about their salary , but they seemed to be doing fine . No you don ' t get looked down for not being a programmer . You have pretty little interaction with them at the lower levels and most programmers are pretty humble anyhow . Work content . Pretty good . Any company of this size will be regularly acquiring new companies see LinkedInMicrosoft and getting on those projects can be pretty sweet and good experience . Also , earnings releases seem pretty intense because they ' re such a marquee stock . Everyone knows when these companies announce earnings . My company was a little bit lower on the chain to where they aren ' t really on everyone radar like GoogleMicrosoft . Work life balance . Not bad . Per Se . The accountant I knew best had it pretty brutal around month end close , but then I would ask him if he wanted to get lunch mid week in the middle of the month and he ' d be like , Sorry it was nice out today so I took the boat out . Note manager had a pretty sweet boat so he was getting paid pretty well I imagine lol . Probably 60 hour weeks around the month end close and dead at other times except maybe working on weird ad hoc projects or some deal . FPA is different obviously . They get crazy busy around earnings releases , but it seemed like there craziness was a bit more unpredictable . Perks . This was the best part . On site gym to work out in every day . Huge cafeteria with a burrito station , sandwich station , grill , pizza , pasta , salad bar . I personally would eat a salmon terriyaki bowl like every day for $ 5 that was bomb . I do miss that . Overall that ' s probably the move I ' m trying to make . However , it should be noted that these accountingfinance departments are hugeeeee . So being promoted from within can be tough . I personally would like to stay until manager in public , but I know that ' s a lot harder to say once you ' re a senior and have to deal with all that shit .
