Accounting has been seriously saturated. This is a fact recognized by everyone. The paper in the picture below is from the Peking University core journal. The author quoted data from the 2014 Accounting Statistics Yearbook. At that time, there were 7,000 postgraduate accountants, 150,000 undergraduate accountants under the unified enrollment, and nearly 300,000 junior accounting under the unified enrollment. The number of accountants who attended adult undergraduate and adult college programs at that time was about 700,000, which already exceeded the demand for accountants in the market at that time. The data is in this scholar's paper, and I won't talk about it randomly.

Accounting

From 2014 to 2022, almost every school was expanding its enrollment, and now even accounting graduate students are recruiting 20,000 to 30,000 people a year. It is conceivable that the number of accounting undergraduates and junior college graduates is high. This is the background.

In this context, the reality of job hunting for accounting majors is:

Undergraduate students are not optimistic about accounting and despise accounting positions, so before graduation they would rather take the public examination for banks than work in accounting, and banks are not limited to majors in recruiting people.

When I applied for an accounting position, what I saw during the spring recruitment was that private companies were recruiting two or three accountants and several mechanical and electronic engineers during the spring recruitment. As a result, the accounting positions were so popular that HR no longer accepted accountant resumes. It is said that the recruitment is full, and you are welcome to apply for the engineering position. At that time, I also applied for agricultural enterprise accounting. The recruitment information released by the public account was that the salary for accounting, human resources and other functional positions was 4.5-6k per month, and the salary for engineering and agricultural technology positions was 5-8k per month. What is the concept, I roughly thought about it:

Accounting 6k corresponds to 985, 5.5k corresponds to 211, 5k corresponds to one book, 4.5k corresponds to two books; engineering and agricultural technical positions 8k corresponds to 985, 7k corresponds to 211, 6k corresponds to one book, 5k Corresponds to two books. One course in engineering is equivalent to 985 in accounting...

By the way, to add some details, I was participating in the school recruitment with my female classmate. She was a party member and worked in an agricultural enterprise. HR directly pulled her resume aside and opened it separately. , several of us were quite speechless when we saw it. In the end, this classmate went to graduate school. (In the surrounding double-featured colleges and universities, the admission rate for accounting majors is only 10%, for general engineering majors it is generally 20%, and for biochemical and environmental materials 30%. +%, starting from 40% in agronomy). She was one of the ten most successful graduates in accounting, but the employment discrimination in undergraduate agricultural enterprises was obvious enough...

Going back further in time, a classmate who signed up for an accounting position in the manufacturing industry in Guangdong chose to breach the contract and returned to school. There is no accounting job available in my location, and now my classmates who have one year of accounting work experience are having a hard time finding an accounting job worth 6k in Guangdong. At that time, students who were working in biochemical and environmental materials with average and non- levels had a higher salary than 6k. My friend who is a classmate majors in biochemistry, environmental materials, civil machinery and Zhihu Tiankeng. He failed to pass the postgraduate entrance examination one year after graduation. During his one-year window period for , he was able to get multiple offers for . Some of the benefits were better than those of me who had been working as an accountant for one year. Students are treated well. Finally, I found that those who are employed in private companies, those who keep talking about tiankeng and tiankeng on Zhihu, are actually better than accounting positions.

Time freezes to the present. At that time, a classmate who graduated from the same school and worked in computers earned $8,000 when he first started working. After working for a year, he changed jobs for more than $10,000. My classmate’s monthly income as an accountant was less than a fraction of other people’s monthly income, and it was not as good as my job change. The wages on the road are high.

This is another answer of mine. It contains the comparison of accounting job benefits and competition level with software development and Tiankeng Machinery in Guangzhou that I have seen in recent days. If you don’t believe it, you can search on the recruitment software to find my data. The source comes from " Zhilian Recruitment ", and other recruitment software is probably similar.

On the premise of the same years of work experience in computers and tiankeng machinery, the job benefits are faster than accounting, and the competition for jobs is far less intense than accounting positions.

This is accounting. It’s not a sinkhole on the surface. In fact, it’s a job that’s worse than anyone else in the private sector.

So what do you think about Zheng Tianji’s persuasion for accountants to quit? I think they are really good people, and they save each one by trying to persuade them to quit.
