I really like public accounting as a profession but honestly don’t understand how people make it through the 5 years of absolutely mundane labor to make manager. Did you current managers, MDs, Partners, etc feel the same way early on?

I came up in a firm that was not big 4, but top 10, in a small office and was engaged really early on to take on progressive challenges. I also had managers/partners who really invested in me and provided different opportunities. Regional firms don’t have the prestige of big 4, but I appreciate the variety of experiences. Do you have an advocate in your firm? And more importantly, are you advocating for yourself to be more involved in areas that you are interested in?

Agree

Sounds like you are mindlessly performing tasks and not using those tasks as opportunities to learn about the businesses. I was never bored.
