Graduated with my masters in accounting in 2022. Been at Deloitte for the past 3 years. I feel like the exit opportunities are not what I expected. What are some examples of people pivoting from accounting into something else in the business world that can help point me towards a more fulfilling career. Just want to help people and be happy. Not a very technical accountant but am quite competent

OP, I think the current job market is part of your issue. Once things get better, you’ll have more options. If you really don’t think accounting is for you, some accountants transition to fp&a.

I pivoted from Deloitte into operations at a fintech company. It wasn’t the right move for me personally so I’m going back to accounting but for someone who likes constant changes, every day different than the next, working on process improvements then it would be a good fit.

Fund admin operations. The group I was in at Deloitte did have some variety but it wasn’t different daily. The projects were generally several months long.

Accountants who understand what stakeholders want can pivot into IT roles where software implementation for FP&A, Accounting, knowledge is so needed.

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.

Dumb questions but genuinely curious:

1) Let’s say you’re a recent undergrad candidate with no internships on your resume. What’s the deciding factor that you’re qualified for Advisory vs Tax vs Audit? Is it school, gpa, etc.?

2) Why can’t you switch from Tax to another SL without having to pull strings? I understand that there’s a difference in tax vs book experience but why does the Accounting field gatekeep other SLs? It’s not like we’re incapable of learning other areas.
