I saw a study that said about 50% of Accounting professionals are unhappy with their jobs. I hate my job, but I guess I'm not happy either; I'm somewhere in the middle. Which I think is the best anyone can hope for in this market. Where do you fall on the happiness spectrum these days?

Depends on the day for sure. Generally though, I like my job, but I also feel like I’m highly paid and that definitely helps.

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!

I started a new job just 7 weeks ago, but an opportunity for a dream job just suddenly and unexpectedly fell into my lap! It’s a lot more money, more aligned with my career goals, and will have better work life balance. I’d be an idiot to not take this great new opportunity! That being said… I’m going to feel bad leaving this new job so soon. I’m sure they’ll be disappointed and maybe even angry… is there any way to NOT burn bridges on my way out of this current job?
