Former tax accountant, but now work at a Ralph's. Obviously, I see this as a temporary gig but to be completely honest, I feel so much peace even though I make only a fraction of what I used to. I had to settle for this job because it's been harder than ever to find one since I left my previous job during a busy season... Has anyone been in my place before? How did you stay motivated that you'll find one? The only silver lining is that I'm experiencing more peace/slowness in my life than ever..

It's important to recognize and appreciate the positive aspects of your current situation. The peace and slower pace you're experiencing can provide a valuable opportunity for reflection and planning. Look for positions that blend your tax background with other areas, such as financial accounting, to broaden your exposure and ease the transition... and since you assumedly have more time on your hands, you could use it to upskill while you're still making money to have your bare essentials met.

I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
