After being client facing for 10 years, I moved into industry (not at RSM anymore) a year ago where I’m essentially ops. I can’t help but get no fulfillment from my job and have been feeling depressed on and off for a few months in relation to my job. I think it comes down to me being a people person. Since moving to industry is common, anyone else go through this? Did it get better or do you go back to client facing work?

I had to leave industry because I was bored with the work and lack of interaction with people also. It’s ok. Find the right fit back in public accounting with the client service you crave. It feeds my soul too. I feel your pain.

Try finding a hobby, it’s a thing people used to do outside of work. Usually when they made enough money to afford it so that might be the going problem… although, I’d hope not after 10 years

Make the effort to meet people throughout the company to build your connections. Assuming your hours decreased with the new role, it sounds like you are bored. Try filling nonwork hours with social things:gym, church, volunteering, book group, etc.

Oh no they increased 😑

I am trying desperately to exit PA because of clients 😅. It is very difficult to move to industry for me, no idea why.
