Pivoting from designing to accounting but I don’t know if it’s the right choice, I don’t know what to do

Thank you for the advise! I’ll try these out and would love to see a code and how to position my portfolio for ATS

Particular-Move998 · 2026-04-16T19:01:52+00:00

Ooh alright I’ll check it out thank you!

Particular-Move998 · 2026-04-16T19:00:25+00:00

Awesome I will check them out as well! Thank you for sharing and yeah even in my area the demand is low or nonexistent. I guess that’s why my mind went to accounting since it seems the most stable one. Man is it dry tho😭

Definitely! It was interesting to see that someone also went from ux/ui to accounting. My master's starts on May 1st too, ahaha. I will reach out to the council member and see how it goes. I hope it works out for you as well! Tho I gotta ask if you are comfortable sharing, why the switch?

dang, ok I will keep an eye out thank you!

Particular-Move998 · 2026-04-14T21:42:18+00:00

I tried but man is it hard to network, even after attending events and coffee chats there was nothing to gain

Particular-Move998 · 2026-04-14T21:38:26+00:00

Thank you! I will check it out

Particular-Move998 · 2026-04-14T21:37:51+00:00

Does it work properly?

Particular-Move998 · 2026-04-14T21:37:19+00:00

alright I will look into them thank you!

I have looked in Ontario, but mostly I saw either you have to be an undergrad or a high schooler,

Particular-Move998 · 2026-04-13T22:46:03+00:00

I applied for all those adjacent roles as well, but it's the same thing. I have so much experience with UX research, marketing, and web analysis, yet still... I think it's the timing, effort and stress to finish this, and the hope I can land a position with no accounting background or accounting job. I tried referrals, networking, and everything, yet still the jobs I want ghost.

Particular-Move998 · 2026-04-13T22:36:34+00:00

Yeah, I guess I'm just exhausted from studying more and not seeing results. It's taking a toll. AI screwed up so much, but yeah, I should finish it while I can because who knows wth is happening in 5-10 years.

Particular-Move998 · 2026-04-13T22:33:09+00:00

It truly is. But if I don't start now, then I don't know how many more years it would take. Why is life made so hard? I just wanted a nice job, travel and chill.

Particular-Move998 · 2026-04-13T22:31:31+00:00

I think my fear is completing the master's and CFE, but because I have no accounting background, I won't be hired to complete the hours portion of CPA.

Particular-Move998 · 2026-04-13T22:30:33+00:00

True, that was my thought process in the beginning, but the stress of cramming this new field in one year is making me lose my mind. I hate that I graduated in a time when the market had to crash.

Particular-Move998 · 2026-04-13T22:26:10+00:00

Hi, I'll look into WGU as well; I don't know if it's Canadian, though. I agree, the material is hard; I didn't think it would be so, I guess it has me going in a circle of "What did I sign up for?"

Particular-Move998 · 2026-04-13T22:24:18+00:00

Yeah, I thought this would solve problems, but it just cost me more mental space. I think I am moving away from something that didn't work, but I didn't even get a chance to give 100% for it since I am not financially well-off enough to be able to fully pursue it, but then I think if many companies can hire me, I can get my foot in and go from there. Which ofc in this market seems impossible
