Any Accountants in the UK that make good money? or is it a dead end job? Can someone make me feel better about what i'am going into, my engineer "friends" told me that i wont make good money as an accountant and said that soon accountants will be gone due to automation, is this true? should i switch to CS?
Engineer here, my sister is an accountant.
I entered my first job earning 21k which is super low end cuz im a lazy fuck.
My sister is busting her balls and earning sub 14k
If you're an accountant and you wanna make big bucks you gotta start committing fraud.

>14k as an accountant
I call bullshit
£14k is barely even minimum wage McDonalds tier. Your sister is a whore

No stick with accounting, CS is the type of occupation that will have you blow your brains out after 6 months if you're not autistic (im pretty sure half my office, myself included is somewhere on the spectrum).
It's really not as bad as I was letting on, my sister does get some perks. She is the lowest grade and her company pays for all tuition for her to jump to the next grade

UKFag here. 3 years post-qualification experience.
So 6 years in I'm earning £80k with about £20-50k bonus as an forensic accountant (ACA). Just finishing up a 3-year secondment in Dubai.
