Accounting exams

    Hey,
    I’m entering my final year of college, so applying for graduate contracts soon.
    I’m on placement in a small accounting firm for a few months so I can do bits and pieces.

    I am sh1t scared of the cap2s and faes. To the point where I think I might not even try. I am very very average, I never did accounting in leaving cert, and my grades are average and I have very little self confidence in what I do.

    Is it doable? If I sacrifice a lot?


    Also can someone tell me what kind of work I would be doing in a big firm starting off, compared to a small one? Will it be the same thing all the time??

    I just don’t think I’m good or smart enough whatsoever, and need some help from people with experience.. thanks in advance!

    Sorry - I havent worked in the accounts field so I cant advise, but you're being very hard on yourself. You can attempt the exams and see how you go! You can also ask for a mentor maybe in your current place?
