I'm an introvert by nature, and the thought of "networking" makes me break out in a cold sweat. But after 7 years in public accounting, I'm ready for a change, and I know networking is key.

The problem is, my professional circle is basically all accountants. How do I break out of the accounting bubble and connect with people in other fields?

Any tips for someone who's not a natural schmoozer? Should I be cold-emailing people on LinkedIn? I'm open to any and all advice!

After years of tax seasons, late nights, and weekends spent buried in spreadsheets, I'm officially done with the accounting grind. The money's good, but my mental and physical health are paying the price.

I'm craving a career with a more reasonable work-life balance, but I still want to leverage my financial skills. Anyone here successfully escaped the accounting hamster wheel for a job with better hours and less stress? What industries or roles did you transition into? Any specific positions you'd recommend?
