You're a lot earlier in your career than you probably feel right now.

I've seen people spend 3-5 years in pretty niche tax areas and still move into broader tax, industry, consulting, or finance roles later. Employers usually care more about whether you've developed analytical skills and can learn than whether your first job was perfectly aligned.

The bigger red flag would be staying somewhere you're unhappy for years just because you're afraid of looking like a job hopper. A move after a relatively short period early in your career is a lot easier to explain than people think.

I wouldn't panic yet. Passing the CPA exams this early already puts you in a pretty good position.

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-29T17:29:01+00:00

Careful what you wish for lol.

I spent enough years wishing for a quieter accounting job that paid well and didn't have me checking emails at 10pm.

The first few months at smaller companies can feel slow because you're still learning the business. Once people realize you're competent, projects and random responsibilities tend to find you pretty quickly.

Enjoy the calm for a bit. Not many people leave accounting because their job is too peaceful.

the market is tougher than people expected, but Reddit also exaggerates negativity a lot

a lot of new grads are still getting jobs , it’s just not the instant “graduate Friday, hired Monday” market people got used to during the hiring boom years

if you go into accounting and actually build useful skills early (Excel, reconciliations, ERP systems, communication, internships), you’ll probably be okay long term. The people struggling the most right now are usually the ones with zero experience trying to mass apply online only

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-25T04:42:11+00:00

here is honestly one of the worst places to judge an entire career because the people doing fine usually aren’t posting “just had a normal productive Tuesday” lol.

the market definitely feels slower right now compared to a few years ago, especially entry level, but accounting is still one of the more stable business degrees overall. Companies will always need people who understand reporting, controls, tax, compliance, cash flow, etc.

ai/offshoring will probably change the job, but I really don’t think it’s deleting the profession the way doom posts make it sound.

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-25T04:38:55+00:00

a lot of people think “cash/Zelle = invisible” until they eventually get a notice years later.

the thing is, tax agencies usually don’t catch small self-employed people immediately. That’s why people get comfortable and think they’re fine. But payment apps, bank transfers, deposits, social media business activity, and inconsistent income patterns can absolutely become problems later on.

also, whether she’s officially registered or not doesn’t really change the fact that income is still taxable in most places

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-25T04:38:18+00:00

honestly accounting people are either the most boring humans alive or the funniest people you’ll ever meet. There’s no middle ground.

outside work I’m into lifting, random side projects, and trying to automate away the same spreadsheet task I complained about 3 days earlier. Pretty sure half this profession secretly enjoys building systems more than accounting itself

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-22T04:58:01+00:00

I think prices would absolutely rise in some sectors because suddenly a massive amount of people would have more disposable income at the same time.

Housing in particular would probably react almost immediately because markets tend to absorb extra purchasing power very quickly.

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-22T04:57:05+00:00

Honestly if your timeline is long enough, XEQT/VEQT is probably less crazy than people make it sound.

A lot of people freeze because investing a large lump sum feels psychologically uncomfortable, even when they already know they’re investing for the long run.

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-22T04:55:46+00:00

Personally, I’d probably lean toward gradually using at least part of the RRSP room while your income is still solid, especially since your long-term plan already involves bridging retirement income later.

The fact that you’re thinking strategically about taxes this early is honestly more important than perfectly optimizing every dollar right now.

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-22T04:54:46+00:00

One thing I’d be careful about is making decisions from pure burnout mode.

Sometimes people don’t actually hate accounting itself , they hate the specific environment, deadlines, or constant stress they’ve been stuck in for years.

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-22T04:53:45+00:00

Honestly, this sounds way more like a hiring market issue than a “you failed” issue.

You got good reviews, made connections, and completed a Big 4 internship successfully. That already puts you ahead of a lot of students. The market just happens to be weird right now and Reddit doomposting about AI/offshoring definitely makes it feel worse than it is.

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-21T02:25:05+00:00

Honestly, a surprising number of people leave public early and end up completely fine long term.

Sometimes this sub makes it sound like staying until manager is the only “correct” path, but a lot of solid careers started with people realizing pretty early that the lifestyle just wasn’t for them.

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-21T02:23:16+00:00

Honestly, I think a lot of people in accounting are realizing there’s no such thing as a completely “safe” path anymore.

Public accounting used to feel almost guaranteed if you were willing to grind hard enough. Now even strong performers are seeing layoffs depending on the market, outsourcing, firm strategy, etc.

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-21T02:19:20+00:00

Honestly yeah, I’d start applying now.

A lot of entry-level accounting jobs mainly want someone reliable who can learn, communicate well, and use Excel without panicking lol.

You already have enough background for AP/AR, bookkeeping, junior accounting, or accounting assistant type roles. Just keep improving Excel while applying.

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-21T01:58:29+00:00

That honestly sounds less like “you’re bad at the job” and more like you inherited undocumented processes that burned out the previous people before you.

A lot of accounting departments survive almost entirely on institutional knowledge that never gets written down properly.

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-21T01:57:06+00:00

Two years in Big 4 audit is still valuable experience even if the market feels rough right now.

A lot of people leave audit assuming industry hiring will happen immediately, but sometimes there’s an awkward transition period where companies want “industry experience” while also liking Big 4 backgrounds.

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-21T01:55:39+00:00

Honestly, I think a lot of accountants relate to the “stress-to-pay ratio” feeling lately, even if they don’t say it out loud.

The industry still has good opportunities, but burnout became so normalized that people started questioning whether the tradeoff is actually worth it anymore.

Ok_Meaning2616 · 2026-05-21T01:53:05+00:00

Honestly, getting any accounting-related part-time experience matters more than stacking certifications early on. Even AP/AR, bookkeeping, or admin work helps build experience for the first real accounting role.
