I don’t want to be an accountant anymore. It’s just not exciting to me. Thinking about transitioning into an analyst role - corporate side. Anyone else also take a similar path to leaving accounting?

Take the CFA. Knowing how to read an annual report and understand the publicly reported numbers is a huge advantage for analysts.

Was your CFA supported by Deloitte or something you did yourself?

You could also go work for a tech company and help them truly disrupt the world of accounting...lord knows change from within will be delayed as long as possible to maintain supranormal profits
