I'm currently trying to exit audit but i am so lost as to where to go next. I initially thought TAS but the only up side of that is pay and it doesn't really make up for the hours. Advise anyone?

Could look into accounting advisory, depending on how you feel about client work. The hours are less than TAS and audit, but definitely more than the average industry position. I enjoy it much more than audit.

It really depends like anything else. If you work on transactions or IPOs, it can be busy season hours for a lesser time period than a busy season. Otherwise, the average is like 45.

TAS does not make up for the hours. I am in the same boat and exploring senior accountant roles, advisory and recurring roles.
