I’m a tax associate (specialty tax) at RSM. I’m absolutely burnt out and I have no energy to study at the end of the night. I have so much on my place and I find myself just staring at the screen. Everything is such a mess no matter which firm I go to in this practice. I do the work of 3 or 4 people with no proper training and instructions from my managers because they have no time! It was the same at GT. I’m thinking of a career change to tech, does anyone have any advice?

I would suggest trying a private company. Do you dislike your career choice (Accounting) or is public accounting firms you dislike?
I’ve been there and identify with feeling burnt out.
If tech really is what you want to do, do it. However, consider it may just be the firms and not all of accounting is like that at all.
My pay and work life balance was so much better at a private company.
