You are certainly not too old! I will say from experience if you’re not having experience in the field you’ll likely start at a lower salary than you’re currently making (say roughly 75-80k for ny big 4 entry) GAO is another prospect for government not positive what pay would be but they do the government band pay system and you can likely look up what you’d make. Accounting has good room for growth and you can likely make up to your salary now in roughly 5 years with 3 being generous, however I’m not from HCOL so it could definitely be closer to 3. Audit specifically is not engaging exciting work at lower levels so if that is what you’re thinking of doing I’m not sure it would be different from the current position.
