How does one stay on the revenue generating side of accounting while also having the time to ski in the winter and go on spring break in March? I’ve worked in both audit and tax and it feels impossible, but am struggling with the idea of going to industry because I love client service.

Go work for a team or firm that mainly serves off year ends. But be careful - those usually just end up busy in the summer and also busy in winter.

Get good at selling. If you can sell work and build relationships and get others to do the grunt work it’s a lot easier. See Tom Sawyer.

I moved to Canada from India 2.5 years ago for my PG in IT BA. I have a bachelors in IT and I worked as a developer for 5 years back home. After my PG, I spent 8 months looking for a job, my current company interviewed me for Technical project manager, but they offered me the role of a PC. I accepted it without negotiating as I did not want to lose the opportunity, I am extremely underpaid and I have been doing the job of 3 people, as my company keeps firing folks. I’ve lost all my confidence.
