I’ve been in a bit of a motivation slump but don’t want to lose momentum in my career. Trying to be proactive about it I guess. What helps you stay engaged long-term?

At the risk of sounding really shallow, what keeps me motivated long term is simply that I know I need a job. I've been able to live reasonably well and put away some money, and that's important to me. In today's world you never know for sure if you've got job security, but it seems like I do, so that sense of stability helps with motivation.

That makes sense, and you’ve got a good point! It is always motivating to know that your position is secure.

NOT trying to be productive all the time. The expectation of sustained motivation is unrealistic. I do what's needed when motivation is low, give myself credit for it, and wait for the motivation to reappear, as it always does. When that happens, I more than make up for whatever productivity was "lost" when my motivation was lacking.

I really like this outlook. It sounds like a good way to avoid burnout!

What has helped me get out my slump is to just take each day one at a time, I feel like if I don’t think about the what ifs or possible changes that can be bad, I only focus on the present and keep charging forward

This sounds like a very freeing way to go about it😅

Once, when I was little, I was playing Monopoly with my cousin. I was the banker, and I liberally “quantitatively eased” myself whenever he wasn’t looking.

I got unlucky and lost the game but I threw an absolute FIT, accusing my cousin of cheating because I knew how severely I’d cheated myself. How could he have won if HE didn’t cheat?!

Donald Trump’s righteous, desperate conviction is that of a losing cheater. I only hope he gets the time out he so richly deserves.

I like my current job, company and public accounting. I know I am being underpaid at $70k as a senior tax associate with 2-3 years of experience as I have talked with my local peers as well as local recruiters. Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?
