I don’t have the personality to be in PA but I love this job and want to stay here as long as I can. How do I conquer my introverted ness and make it less cringe-y and awkward?

Tbh, we’re all a little awkward. We’re accountants. The more comfortable you get with what you know, the more “easily" you’ll be able to do your job. Don’t worry about your personality! I’m sure you’re totally fine.

Embrace it

Put yourself in front of clients and higher up at the firm constantly. Break out of that comfort zone and it becomes easier to do even if it still might not necessarily be your personality.

A question for the guys: was this a date?! Ran into a guy I knew in college at a bar, he technically asked me out (“we should get drinks sometime” etc), then paid for my drink.
