How much does job security in your next role matter to you? According to the WSJ, a greater percentage of accountants are leaving the profession later in their careers now than in years past, and the WSJ is saying that job security in other industries matters less and less. Thought it was interesting, as I'm very much factoring in job security in my next move.
