Has anyone gone from accounting to recruiting? How did it go? I’ve been in the industry for almost 6 years (ex Big 4, now in corp accounting) and I think I’m just not interested in it anymore. I need engagement with people- I enjoy helping someone achieve something. Thinking either accounting/finance recruiting or accounting SaaS consult/implementation. Thoughts?
