Im stuck on deciding if i should remain in Audit or switch careers to Financial accounting now. Been in Audit less than 6 months but absolutely hate it already. The crazy hours are killing and with a new baby my
lord. I’m confused cause I really only have 6 months proper audit experience although i have a masters in accounting and finance with a few more papers to become Acca qualified. Has anyone been in this position and made a pivot and would appreciate knowing how did it work out?

Or do I need to get some big brand name on my CV to do the transition?
