This has been amazing information thank you for being open! Currently I'm an Assistant Accountant deciding on whether to do ACCA or CIMA. I know people generally consider ACCA harder and most say both qualifications are similar in weight but after being qualified for a few years what do you think? is the ACCA worth doing over CIMA for career progression or is it minor differences?

What zone are you in

Sleete matte swatches new shades lipstick 💄 thank you

Makeup 💄 a to z where are you

I am 40 years old and make £105k salary as a software engineer. Fully remote and chill company. Wondering if I should push it and try for an increase. I'm at the top of the pile and if I move I probably look for £120k+ jobs which do exist but are rare I think

What zone is it 1,2,3

Where is this

Most important one: assess your market value yearly! Put your CV out there and always be on the lookout for new opportunities. If you don’t, your salary progression will stagnate! Don’t be that person who spends 5+ years at a company with small incremental yearly salary increase. The only way to get substantial raises is by job hopping.

Excellent content and valuable advice; thank you.

Buy a place aborad, not the UK, buy a place abroad, portugal, spain etc, do short term rentals, which give you a huge return on your investment, well over 10% a year, use that money to fund your life in the UK

what did you study at uni ? Accounting + Fianace ?

Hey Ela I wanted to ask a question i will be studying accounting in university this year is there any tips or websites you found useful and by any chance do you have any recommendations to do through out my studying career to be able to find better jobs and thank you

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have eternal life. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved. If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all of. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only way the truth and the life and no man cometh unto the father but by him. Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Obviously CPA exam has been a pain in my butt that won't bother me any longer I have gotten my license already thanks to you Mr Dylan God bless you more cuz you made it possible for me

This is super helpful, thanks!! Currently in the process of buying a house and I'll take all the tips I can! One thing though (and you may already have) - please close your Barclays account! They're the biggest funders of the Israeli genocide against Palestinians and many many people have moved to more ethical banks since October <3

Soo helpful thankyou!!! I didn’t know with a flat you still need to pay for solicitor fees, stamp duty and mortage broker like wow!

Great video. I’m in the exact same position as you. Currently own 25% of my flat and been here just over 3.5yrs. I’m now thinking of buying a freehold house but the thing that worries me is all of the hidden exit fees and the potential of the property price going down too - since I own the 25% with no mortgage. Also have considered staircasing to full ownership but not sure it’s worth it.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Were you offered all the salary increases or did you bring up the conversation with your manager?

I'm currently doing ACCA, and I'm really interested in thigs like python, math and finance, I would love to do a master's in business analytics and specialize in Finance or a master's in data science after ACCA, would you recommend something like this? And given my interest which field would you recommend I should work in? Audit? Financial Advisory? etc?

It's better to sell at 25%. More people looking into SO can afford that than say 50%. and a lot of people who can fully afford a flat at 50% and above may rather go for a house instead. plus, it leaves more affordable options for other first time buyers

This was so insightful, thanks for sharing!

Hi. I have just ordered my first credit card with Barclaycard for a 'forward' card. Is it better to buy more smaller amounts on it rather than larger amounts so the number of transaction increase?

Then theres me working in the field for just gone 2 years and under 21k, make it make sense

Something really scare me about how much the rent and service increase 😢

how many hours a week :)

Great video!

I've initiql been in a shared ownership but starecased. 17 years on nw. Id advise to starecase to 100%. When it comes to selling its easier, as its open to the wider market. You get all the capital gains. Also you can remortgage and buy pull some equity to get a 2nd property.

Out of interest, what was your mortgage? you only mention you rent. Wanted to know how affordable the whole scheme is. thanks

Economic slave🤣

Tell us your service charge now😂

i love you

Hi Ela, Im currently applying for audit role at a big 4 studying ACA. I saw that you studied ACCA. Could you explain how the two qualifications differ in terms of the skills you gain and job opportunities? I am also aspiring to become a qualified chartered accountant

Great video! Would love an update from you once you sell etc regarding how you found the process, the pros and cons.

lovely video if you were to put it on the rentel market how much would you look to charge a month

Hi Ela, I am 30yo Manager in Hospitality with a BSc in Economics and i am currently looking into accounting entry level positions. I have been applying but with 0 prior experience or relevant qualifications i dont think i have many chances. So my question is (If i may) would you suggest that i go for AAT or straight to ACCA? keep in mind please that i dont get any exceptions in ACCA because my university degree (Hons) is Greek not British but i have full access to funds for masters etc. I know that ACCA is harder and takes more time plus i have to work full time 42+ hours a week to pay my bills. Thank you.

You didn't buy, you took a loan, it's not the same.😊

Best part of this video is how many times Ela said she is grateful. Being grateful keeps more good things coming

What would you recommend to graduated student do masters abroad ; mba or do Acca

Hey Ela! ar e you on linkedin?

Starting my grad role at the big4 this September, these tips will be helpful.

That is all so true!

Hello and good afternoon I don't suppose you have an email I can contact you in regards to this ? I really need to sort my credit report. Thank you

Thanks Ela, appreciate this, especially the manager point you touched on. Have you ever had a situation where you didn’t get on with your boss and are you able to make a video on this for advice?

Some auntie

I needed this. Thanks Ela. Recently qualified and trying to leave my current Big 4 firm as had a bad manager who screwed me over in performance reviews and instead of leaving, I tried to fight it internally and now realised HR works for the company's/hierarchy's best interest.

I appreciate this.

Very helpful tips thank you 😊
