I started job 9 mo ago & worked more than expected - Was told 40 hr nontax season & 55 t/s. Due to understaffing, been working more than that. decided to quit cause I’m tired of not being able to mentally log off everyday. I love everything else About job & have a gpod team.Me leaving would be a big blow to them since already understaffed. wanted to let my mgr know Im going to resign but will stay until they find replacement even thru next T/S but parttime if needed. is this good idea?

To clarify, Im 50 & ready to retire at 55 & just need part time income for the next 5 years so I realize I might not find another job for awhile & I’m ok with that.

Tell them you are only willing to give the 40/55 hours and want to be able to disconnect when on PTO. Provided you don’t care about promotion and good raises/bonuses, and they need people, they should work to make this happen. If they don’t, then you can proceed with resigning, but it sounds like this is a salvageable relationship.

I like my current job, company and public accounting. I know I am being underpaid at $70k as a senior tax associate with 2-3 years of experience as I have talked with my local peers as well as local recruiters. Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?
