I left my firm a week ago. My main reason was the culture (not taking D&I seriously, not a culture of appreciation, lacking vision) but a close second was WLB. I’m taking 2 months off before my next job. They seem more in line with my values. And WLB could be a bit better but not substantially bc it is still PA! I’m hoping for the best but.. just in case.. Cabin you tell me about their experience w contract work? Who do you go through? Can you do it only when you want? Is it hard to find?

Would anyone have any good career coaches to recommend? I have 8 years of Account Management experience, mostly in the Pharma Advertising space but I am looking to pivot into something less stressful and that would require no more than 40 hours a week if that’s even a reality these days.

Hi Fishes,
I'm currently working for a fintech firm as SQL Developer which has got me into a toxic working culture(zero support from colleges) with no learnings so far.

Although, I'm from a Commerce domain..I wanted to move into Data Analytics so I learned SQL and Tableau on my own to get myself better Data Analytic job opportunities to build my career in.

However, without any live projects and hands on experience on the tool, I could only learn a few things about these two mentioned tools. So

This is a question which I'm curious about people's thoughts. Mostly reflecting on the past since I'm way too far in audit to make a career change. Did I make a mistake by not trying for law school? I took the LSAT when I was a first year associate and got a 168. At this point, the score expired and would need to retake. I know law is riskier than audit. But a part of me wonders if I'd have been better off (except more student loans) if I went to law school instead of sticking with audit?

Thinking about leaving Big 4 and going into internal audit (currently about to be a Senior in Assurance).

I like working on controls/SOX much more than substantive. I thought about switching internally to advisory and doing internal audit but not sure what the best move is.

I don’t see myself ever doing a technical accounting role or any financial accounting roles. Ideally I would like to transition to more business operations type of roles throughout my career. Any advice is appreciated!

Have you reached the point where you're satisfied with your job? I've had B4, industry accounting and wealth management jobs and there's always been something I was not satisfied with, leading me to find something else. I've been in my current role (industry) for about a year and am already bored and looking at opportunities.
