This reads like someone who missed their exit on a highway (leaving as a senior) wondering if there is a way they can right the ship without going back

I went into accounting technology sales and I was in the same position as you. I was also in FAAS before I left tho and I liked it way better than audit.

How was the switch into sales? Do you think your accounting experience was very useful in your current role in accounting sales?

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.
