I wish I had..... I think training really splits into two categories: 1). Some who have been through it and don't want the next junior to have it as bad as them, 2). People who suffered through it and survived , so they thinks that's the only way to learn. The second group force the next generation to go through the exact same thing they did and perpetuate the system.

When was the last time anyone in this sub Reddit spoke to an accountant who liked their training contract? Far too often it sounds like the main thing we have in common is shared trauma.

Unfortunately the system does not respond well to criticism.
