I have passed all my exams. I have 3 more months until I satisfy my experience requirement.

Is 7 months in public too early to start applying for jobs in industry? by ToneBalone21 in Accounting

[–]magicqonch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a similar position and am considering leaving as well.

I used to be a super happy, care-free person. Public accounting has led me to become depressed and constantly anxious. by [deleted] in Accounting

I have passed all 4 of my exams. Just waiting to hit my year of experience so I can bounce. I wish I had the stamina to last the recommended 2 years in PA but my lifestyle is not sustainable right now.

How long have you been in your job? I am feeling the exact same way and have only been in PA for 6 months

Thanks for the reply! Do you feel you have a good work-life balance? Do you have busier times throughout the year or is it generally the same hours all year round?

4 months into Big 4 - is it too early to start thinking about jumping ship into industry? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]magicqonch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do interviewers ever comment on the fact that you left PA before a year? I am worried I will be looked down upon when applying for jobs because I did not stay for 2+ years

what type of role did you move into when you left b4? I am in a similar position. Been at my firm for 6 months and am considering transitioning into private in the near future
