I think better days are on the horizon. Less CPAs/Accountants = less competition = we can charge and earn more. I also think 5-10 years from now, AI will let us do a lot more with a lot less.

M2, perhaps you’re underpaid?
From what I’ve seen, the market value of a manager in PA has increased at a faster rate than inflation over the last 5-7 years. I see SMs and Directors making the same or more than physicians and the pay gap between US based CPAs and attorneys narrowing (slightly). This is because all firms are struggling to find qualified talent and the qualified talent can get a red carpet and market value (or better) at basically any firm they want to work for.
The beauty of accounting is that it evolves with you, but its core never changes, they’ve stood since 1492, when Luca Pacioli set the foundation. It’s the only profession where you can pack your bags, travel anywhere in the world, and still be an accountant. Our field is as big as we dare to make it, let’s add project management, a touch of coding, and the mastery of powerful reporting tools, and you’ll go far beyond the balance sheet.
Our governing bodies care more about whether people are putting CPA in their email signatures and how hard they can make a test than they do about how stupid certain accounting guidelines and tax laws are.
Welcome to the regulatory state. That's why I loathe me CPA. Market moves on, we are 10 years in the past. Looking how to account for crypto.
I’m getting ready to leave to do agriculture 😂😅. I rather burn and sweat than deal with taxes. I’m already doing it part-time.
5 years in Big4 and I would love nothing more than to be a full time artist! Trying to plan my exit now to more of a creative role (maybe an instructure design position) until I get get art off the ground and do it full time. I've hit my breaking point and want to get away from taxes and accounting altogether for something more impactful.
I can’t see why any young people would enter this profession and stay longer than a year.
Industry isn't better. My tax team is so lean for a Fortune 50..
I should clarify that I think it's an accounting issue. Part of the profession.
I talk to people all the time who say they couldn't do accounting. Why don't we have a better working environment if demand is high and supply is low.
I wouldn't say nightmare. But I am rethinking my long-term career plans.
Ditto, I am one of those that enjoy preparing individuals, estates, trusts, and gift tax returns over business returns. I am later in my career so I am not looking to climb the corporate ladder. I just want to do what I enjoy, make comfortable living, and enjoy a WLB in the process. I am even considering the part-time route since I've read on so many forums that many employers are requiring employees to come back to the office. I do not want to work in an office 5 days a week with a 1+ hour commute each way every day.
Yes it is 100%
