If you left public accounting for an industry job, what kind of industry job did you take? What kind of company did you go to? Do you feel like your work is more meaningful/fulfilling?

I’m a SM financial reporting and technical accounting at a public company. I do feel like my role in industry is more fulfilling than in audit because I’m now doing something for my own company and not just checking whether the client did something correctly. I was in audit so while there is some value in it, it’s hard to take pride in work when you’re juggling multiple clients. Some people do find industry boring but I guess I got lucky as I still get to work on various things.

I went to industry for a bit. A Fortune 50., in a role in my specialty. The work was excruciatingly boring, and the politics were worse. I boomeranged back to public, but I got sick of PA hours and demands during COVID, so I went government. Waiting to see how it turns out, since I'm still in the training period. It's hard to say if the work is more meaningful, but at least it's interesting.

Got way more work, but nothing else promised within that year. Told next money bump would be manager role (no raise for senior still) and I need to take on more and start supervising AP. Again, seeing nothing…time to leave?
