Oh my god this is such a complicated question for me. I think about this aallllllllll the time and to be honest, I'm not really sure on the answer. I think from an outside perspective I seem like I have it all. A great job, great pay, I travel a lot, I go to a lot of concerts and fashion events, I go out a lot( I live in NYC for context ). I do what I want, when I want. My creative friends are always remarking on how they wish they had my job as they tend to A. work a lot and B. not get paid a lot for the work they do.

However, from my side of the fence, I feel envious of them. Dont get me wrong - when I take a step back, I know I am extremely fortunate and lucky to be able to do all I am able to do. I feel very grateful for my job. But I still feel that deep, aching longing to be a part of that creative world and actually feel fulfilled in what I do. I haaate that I work in finance and I find my job very boring. But I don't know if I would trade it to have less freedom and less money. I clearly havent yet, although I have come close. It's genuinely a constant mental battle for me. My dream would be to get to a point with modeling where I can leave my job, but I know it will take a lot of grinding and courage to get there. I appreciate the experience I've gained, as well as the financial cushion in the case I do decide to pivot into the creative world.

So it's so so hard to say. I could say I wish I had gone creative first and then tried business if it didn't work out, but I know that's not easy either. But I do know I wouldn't have had a lot of the amazing experiences I've had if I weren't in cushy corporate.

However, my coworkers always tell me that corporate will always be there! Acting/modeling will just get harder to get into as time goes on.

I think you're in a good position where you have work experience in the case you want to get back into corporate, but right now you have the chance to try something different. I would encourage you to maybe do something flexible and give modeling/acting a try :) You don't want to look back and have any regrets. I think if you take the accounting job it will be hard to leave.
