Biden dominates in the women Black and older demo's, Bern dominates in the 'younger all in for Bern but didn't bother to vote' demographic

nah

If Biden’s supporters don’t turn out, the party will extend the primary a few days so they can go find them and record their vote.

This seems outrageously low. We hire new undergrads into our consulting firm as Analysts starting at 70k.

Yeah 40k/yr is less than $20/hr. I hope they don't have much student debt.

I don't know if it is still like the old CA firms my Dad was in. It was very competitive to come work like a slave for a couple years while you get your CA, then a good bump in pay, with the prospects of making partner and getting in the 500k+ range.

Analysts are CPA level.

It's pretty amazing this campaign is gonna be shorter than the 2016 campaign was. California moving from June to March certainly helps in that regard, but still.

And $20K less than what accounting students make in the US working for big 4 out of college.

And there are 200 accounting majors in Calgary applying for this job?

Something doesn't add up.

Guess we'll see if Biden can hold on for 7 months and not meltdown.

BComm isn't going to get you into the Big 4 in Calgary unless is an intern/co-op campus program.

You need a designation in Calgary. Either CPA or CFA. We hire undergraduates and pay for further school while getting experience. Because CPA requires "relevant experience" in addition to courses.

Heck CPA has made a killing just bridging students along. A few years ago it was a race against time to finish your designation before the merge. Even if you were one course short youd have to bridge which was really ####ty.

$40K seems really low. I don’t think I’ve hired anyone for less than $50K unless they are just doing AP. Then 40K might make sense.

No experience with it myself, but from talking to people who did the Big Four CPA route you're looking at ~$43K out of university in Calgary. Once you get your letters it goes up significantly from there.

They've also mentioned that it's even lower in Vancouver which makes no sense to me.

The race has been over since Super Tuesday. Given the Coronavirus mishandling I think Biden has a good shot at winning. Trump has blown the response so badly when Americans wake up to the virus being everywhere he will be done.

They are just doing AP to start. Then learn other stuff.

Its lower in Vancouver and even lower in Toronto. High volume.

Lol... that’s cute. So this will be the thing? This will be his undoing? I feel like this has been said before. I’m getting major deja vu.

Guess that depends, if it gets bad enough in October cancel the election!
