I am ready to leave. But have zero clue what I want to do. I'm in risk assurance, senior 2 and feel like I can't get a role outside IA. Help! Anyone leave and not take a pay cut or step back?

Like there are really that many people that are passionate about accounting. We're friggin bean counters... If you want to leave find something you like first. If you always jump ship just because you don't like the job, you will never find a job you like because you're always running away from something you don't want rather than towards something you do want. Find something you like, and make an exit plan.

Contact a good recruiter who can give you an overview of what's open to you in your city.
