I am 30F living in the Bay Area. I feel like quitting right now during tax season. 2 1/2 weeks left and the pressure is getting to me. The staffs are swamped, the signers are checked out and I am left behind with clients that are not very communicative so I an definitely preparing my returns at this point and stopped taking additional prep work cause I am backlogged. I want to quit and start on my nail career that I am interested in but I have to go get my license first through school.

Welcome to accounting

“stopped taking additional prep work” - so seniors are expected to prep there?

Yep. I have started to prep less nowadays unless it's difficult and preassigned to me.

The job market is REALLY rough right now. I don't think I would quit unless you have something else lined up. If you have something else lined up, then I say go for it.

thank you! I will make sure to have something lined up for sure. I actually have one referral call tomorrow so I am hoping everything will work out.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
