I have transferred to a new role, no more accounting. It's less stressful but I'm still not happy.... so I start to wonder if something is wrong with me...

I have a friend who moved from tax to advisory and he’s feeling the same way. It’s like the trauma of accounting stays with you

I have similar feelings. I’m on a two year rotation in an internal group. It’s not stressful, but I’m just finding other things I hate about it, like pointless meetings and stupid work. I’m happy I’m not in my old job, but not happy either.

I haven’t solved it yet, but I’m leaning towards just leaving public accounting entirely.
