I'd say you wait at least two years (build relationships and a reputation) to try to get your new bosses to transition you to some other job.

If you didn't want the job you signed up for, your brand new bosses shouldn't know it immediately.

I have a young student with CVI and extremely limited mobility. She is able to vocalize but not speak.

However, I don’t even know where to start with researching the best one for her. Any suggestions?

What do you do when a manager always shuts down your approach to audit work and then when you get on a call with the partner and manager, the partner gives the same exact approach you stated earlier? This has happened to several seniors that have worked with this manager and we’re all on the verge of quitting.
