First year audit associate with 8 months exp at gt. Really do not like audit, gt, and public accounting. I know it is not for me. I have two prior internships, a business degree, a masters degree, and all my cpa exams passed. I’ve had general convos with recruiters about corporate accounting but the salaries are all lower than my audit salary due to my yoe. What other options should I look into? Not set on staying in accounting

See if your company is willing to transition you to an analyst role - see if you like it and then you can jump somewhere else with analyst exp under your belt

Look into transferring into Accounting Advisory at GT. Interesting work and pays better than audit with less hours.

I applied to a rotation in that division but I haven’t heard anything and I doubt they will let me

If you’re gonna make the jump, wait to do it until you are manager. That was the most consistent advice given to me by former PA people.

you could also try to work at a B4, I like the people I work with and it can be a bit more laid back so it could just be your team.,

I have a bit of a wild question about leaving a position and starting another one. A while back I was invited to speak at a conference, which I’m excited to do. Since the invitation though I’ve been looking to exit my current position. Would it be inappropriate to have my last week of work be the week of the conference? I’m concerned if I leave before I won’t get to attend (current job is paying for my attendance) but if it wasn’t a factor I’d probably leave 2 weeks from now lol

However, there are a number of issues that bother me enough where I want to move on.

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.
