Found it during search

Can you tell me how it went? How did you land it? Feel free to DM me.

Less than a month. Wasn’t staffed for the month after i handed in my notice so i had way more mental space, time and enthusiasm after i’d quit to find something cool. Also had the peace of mind that i had enough savings to spend two years without a job. Not having the time pressure made the search much easier for me.

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting?

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
