I don’t love accounting now, however I do enjoy my life more. I get in at 9 and leave at 5:15PM. Get paid more than I used to and have 20 days of PTO. Lifestyle is much better.

I hated audit, and I hate industry, but mostly only because I work for Satan and the Antichrist. I'm expecting an offer soon, so I hope this changes.
