I complain about my firm and boss nonstop. Put in my notice on Monday and I can’t help but be overly sad about it and second guess my decision. Is this normal?

Stockholm syndrome is real. It will take months before you realize how bad it is. I even called the old firm to please take me back....now 3 years out I can say F Them and what they put me through.

Devil you know.....resist the urge!

I miss my old firm a lot, despite now working much better hours, for much better pay, with much better people! I remember the highs of my old job, not so much the lows.

It depends on whether your expectations for your new job at RSM are reasonable. I would anticipate that you will find experiences or people at your old job that you will miss. And that’s ok. Hopefully the reasons for both leaving your old firm and accepting a position at RSM were well considered and the decisions will help you in your career path.

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
