shit sucks

My job position was staff accountant and I didn't know shit about accounting but they still gave me the chance anyway. I was hired last month and did my best. Today, they just let me go and said that they needed to hire someone who's experienced in accounting and they didn't have the time to train me effectively because of tax season. They realized that it would take a lot of dedication and time to train a new guy who doesn't know accounting.

Why even bother hiring a new guy like me if you knew that I didn't have any experience in accounting and that tax season was coming up?

shit fucking sucks man, I really did all I could. This was my first time being let go too.

from Indeed and I wanted big money. I'm also good at communicating and data entry so it seemed interesting to me. I also realized that it could get chaotic later on too but I was willing to withstand it >_>

Indeed and I have no idea, maybe sheer luck? It's 45k a year in Socal and but it ranges from 45k to 60k. I asked for the lowest because of my no experience

Maybe they were too desperate? A lot of people were quitting before I was hired.

Hmm? You must really love doing your own taxes. I don't.

Do you have a CPA?

Not judging but I sorta figured one was a prerequisite to work as an accountant.

That's really strange. Maybe for the best, in the long run. Company sounds like it doesn't have a solid vision.
