Really feeling lost in my career. I’ve done Public Accounting (3years- two small reg firm) Audit Senior, 6 months in Revenue Accounting, 2.25 years Big 4 Corp Tax, 1.5 years Internal Audit Healthcare. 1 year employment gap to deal with burnout/health issues and made $ off crypto. Unemployed since May 2021. I’m much healthier now and did tons of biking (can bike like 4-8 hrs a day). I love strategy, investing, analysis, learning data viz/coding.

Kudos to you for taking that time for your health! There's a good chance that your renewed health is bringing a new perspective with it. What can you see yourself doing that seems like it would contribute to your newfound health and livelihood? It might look a lot different than the past, but that's ok.

I think you would fit well in a more data-heavy FP&A role that could have aspects of programming and BI tools used (think Tableau, PowerBI, SQL, Python, R, etc.). These are more commonly seen in the tech industry like at Google for instance (their financial analysts are essentially data analysts but not too far gone to be considered as data analysts). Either way, finance roles in the tech industry seem to be more focused on those aspects that you’re looking for more, and the pay is better too.

It's great that you are now feeling good and much healthier. Are you planning to return to full-time work? How about remote jobs?

Totally agree. My role is currently hybrid and I love it. It's not that exhausting since I only go to the office twice a week. I really hope you land a job soon. Best of luck

From what it sounds like, corporate strategy roles, corporate development (M&A), and FP&A (forecasting) would be your go-to. You really can’t go wrong with any of those.

Would you consider finding a PT role to help pay the bills and then maybe contract work on your own schedule? I did this for a while and found it really helped me build a more flexible and balanced schedule while I was focusing on my health

Yeah I was thinking of doing contract work as an Audit Senior. But now that my physical stamina/health is more manageable now since I bike everyday, I’m ready to go back to work full time. I just have to find the right role that I can be passionate about and one with good WLB and good team.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
