How many times can one be laid off before it gets sad? I just got laid off for the third time since 2019... Is this a sign from the universe that Accounting is just not for me?

Hugs. Hope this was the last one. I am in my 40s so, it’s kinda scary to pivot to something new now. I don’t recommend accounting/tax as a career path to my nieces/ nephews. I wish I would have moved my career to something creative when I was in my 20s instead of grinding in this field.

Remember when they said accounting was a stable career? Then they shipped all of our jobs to Manilla, Hyderabad, and Banglore?

It's time we elect politicians who care about us. Feel free to ship off our jobs but make the companies outsourcing pay the price of hiring global.

Happened to me more than that this is very common especially in public accounting. Either fired or quit. Currently happy in my new role don’t give up. It’s not just you. Had an interview 2-3 months ago and the guy interviewing me just assumed I got fired and told me that not to worry he also got fired before being in that role that it was the nature of public accounting
