Lately, work’s been a slew of tough choices, making me rethink my path. Last week, I had to choose between ethical integrity and job security—choosing integrity felt right but risky. When did you realize it was time to move on from accounting? Was there a defining moment or a slow burnout? Would love to hear your experiences and any advice you might have.

What was the ethical issue?

It's hard to give advice without knowing the ethical issue. your career is going to be full of those kinds of choices . In the business world, ethical is very gray. You have to make the determination whether the company is an unethical place or just the situation . But be prepared you'll find countless ethical situations in your business career . 

If it was similar to my associate who confided in me that she slept with 2 people in the office one while she was an intern and they two were both married, smokes pot all the time, and bought a mouse mover, has a side hustle, and she filed for some immigration relief by saying her ex husband was abusing her took out a restraining order but still sees him all the time to play with her co-owned pets all of which EY totally bought the excuse, idk why or how these people get into the B4. Even more is why is the EY internal team not investigating so you and I do not have to lose our jobs b/c you knew but did not tell.
