Pivot to an accounting or finance position if you like that

You can find technical accounting roles where you focus on ad hoc projects as they come up and not so much of the close items. That is if you like pure technical accounting and are good at it.

Business school to consulting, if you think you can pull off admission to a top 15 school.

You stayed in audit too long

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

Did i do the right thing?
