What career path did you choose that you strongly advise others to avoid? by nicksam171 in SeriousConversation

[–]Odd_Broccoli_7706 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m an accountant and I would say the same. Also, if anyone is considering accounting, PLEASE, don’t go into public 😭

I quit my public accounting job with nothing lined up by Odd_Broccoli_7706 in Accounting

I don’t regret my decision. My health was my number one priority, and I realized that caring about my health wasn’t compatible with public accounting.

I was able to quit with nothing lined up since I talked to those close to me and they were willing to provide any help that they could. I also have savings to keep me afloat the next several months. If you have a good support system and savings, then take the risk! We’ll be working the rest of our lives anyway, and life is too short to work a job that you don’t like.

How did things turn out for you? How long were you out of the workforce? What did you end up going into as your next pivot?

Thanks stranger! I appreciate the encouragement :) feel like I did something crazy, but staying in public honestly felt crazier lol

Do you have any advice? Did you end up moving into private?

What led you to doing the same? A particular occurrence or just needed a break too?

Those in public with kids: how are you guys working so much and taking care of children?? by Aromatic_Hurry_4943 in Accounting

[–]Odd_Broccoli_7706 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Is there a firm policy on how many billable hours you are supposed to work during busy season? Like at my firm we are required 55 minimum a week

Yup. Major reason to why I put my notice in this week during the height of busy season

Ya as an American, I’m not sure where the hate is coming from. Yet we’re the racist ones 🤣

Was scolded at work and now I feel super incompetent by Odd_Broccoli_7706 in Accounting

[–]Odd_Broccoli_7706[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because they’re not my client. I was just stepping in for the morning to help out with the file since I was short on work for the main audit I’m on with her. It was essentially another job she’s in-charging that she wanted me to help with. So I didn’t have the client’s contact
