I left audit at a big 4 with just <1 year of exp naively looking for an “easy” industry job. Left 1st industry job bc turnover meant poor training for me & with the new place I’m at it’s not accounting & very steep learning curve. I feel I should’ve stayed in public, at least go into advisory, but now I’m too chicken bc of travel & I’m getting married next year so I need PTO. Recruiter at my preferred job (which I didn’t get) said team liked me so she’ll call if there’s a new opening. Cont below

Maybe stay in one place and tackle that learning curve. I think wherever you go, you might run into that issue.

So now I’m stuck waiting on whether this person will call me back sometime in the next couple months and just suffer thru my current job or just take a chance on FAAS at EY and hope I dont have to travel too far. I know CMAAS allegedly doesn’t require travel but I’ve applied to openings there & didn’t even get invited to interview. I have some references at EY too. Any advice on what you would do in my situation?
