Almost a senior in Risk Assurance (soon to be Risk Advisory) I have a pretty solid in at a FAANG company as a Deal Analyst. Should I try to make the jump? I generally dislike my current work but it feels like going a little backward to take an analyst role. But I feel like I could also be pretty successful outside of SOX work. It seems like if I am going to jump I should do it now before I am in compliance forever. Anyone have any advice ?

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
