I love PwC but I hate auditing. Any suggestions?

I've done audit and now I'm in private. I was bored to tears in both professions, but I always thought it didn't matter because I was in a stable profession that paid pretty well. However, every day I fight a battle between me and my boredom until it's time to go home. Now that I'm studying for the CPA, I think about how I'm working so hard for a goal that I don't like and I'm displeased. I metaphorically wipe the tears from my eyes with dollar bills every night. I know it could be worse, but it also could be better too
Look for alternatives as soon as possible!!
If you are young all I could recommend is leave now and pursue another path.
Make a 10 to 15 year plan to save money and then do what you like if your scared to jump ship.
I’m in the same boat. Try to switch your mind to something else, have a hobby. Do what you like and your job and stress about career path will not bother you any longer.
For the past 12 years now.... yes
You talk about pursuing your passion. What is your passion? Accounting is the language of business. I am in accounting so I can speak a language that allows me to pursue my passion.
How did you find the side gigs?
EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.
I’m on the same boat. 28, hate where I am heading with accounting. I’m in the process of reinventing myself with another master degree in a totally different field. Part-time program from an Ivy league school.
I think of it like I’m in a stable enough position that maybe later on I can have the opportunity to do something new
