Also, do you have an industrial wire stripper? Always wanted to use one of those. I work directly with refiners and I'd get paid about $3.85 / lb. for bare bright right now. The best local scrap yards are paying $3.50, but if I were in the market I'd pay anywhere from $3.05 - $3.60 depending on the quantity right now. Though I don't do much wire these days since the market it too competitive for me. We mostly focus on shooting range materials these days since we have a proprietary machine that allows us to get huge quantities of material.

If you are collecting brass from shooting ranges, there is a pretty good chance it made its way through our plant. I haven't worked there in over a year. I haven't thought about the price of copper in a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly for investors and upper management to make decisions and operations kind of use them as a visual aid to see how prospective numbers change as their inputs change.

If there is one thing I've learned in the accounting field these past 16 years is that the titles rarely make sense and are often inconsistent. I remember working for a company about 10 years ago and our department had 3 different positions called "Accountant," "Staff Accountant," and "Senior Accountant." Those 3 positions could not have been more different and none of the three positions really fit the title except MAYBE Staff Accountant. But at the end of the day, the title really doesn't matter.

It sounds like what Cali is doing is mostly Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A). There's a pretty broad range of responsibilities that fall under the umbrella of accounting. At my previous company, I worked with FP&A a lot to incorporate actuarial forecasts into the FP projections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californication | 1,491 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) @Daniel_Doyce -is correct. I am in forecasting/planning. I get that I have a title that has "Financial" because I am in budget/finance. I really just have a problem with the word Analyst. (If I'm being honest it also probably stems from the fact that I don't want to be in finance/budget. The position just had to much upside - good people, okay comp., stable position, and my excel has gotten pretty respectable being passed between managers/projects.)

My undergrad was in math and I'm debating if my second masters should be in math or if I should just go for the PhD in education. I could imaging going to school with campus shut down. I was on campus, out of the house 90% of my day until I was asleep. Edited March 8, 2021 by RegularGuyGamer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
