Okay I’ll bite....Why?
Same tbh, i can’t rest
The work is better, but there’s more of it and I can never press pause and cone back
You hit the nail on the head for me. Not a start up but still a smaller company where I’m driving everything accounting and finance.
It’s a combination of a ton of factors. I’m currently going into the office and I miss working from home. My team of 5 direct reports lack a lot of the skills you get with EY staff, whether it’s taking coaching and actually improving or the work ethic. I never took my work at EY too seriously because I understood it goes through review after me and worst case is you get an inspection finding. Current job I’m way more stressed because if we don’t pay bills it falls back on me. There’s only the CFO above me so the preparer reviewer system isn’t as straight he forward. Way more random calls and fires I need to deal with and currently don’t know the job well enough to be able to handle them appropriately. The consistency at EY was comfortable and it was easy transitions level to level. My job now is way more meaningful work, but damn does it stress me out more
It gets better! I love the work life balance and you get comfortable with the every day. Then you start having fun being part of the decision making...yes stressful at times but remember most things in accounting can be fixed! As far as your team - you have to learn who are the doers (aka the people who want to come in and do the same job everyday) and realize that’s okay. You need those people! But then find the people like your public associates who want to grow and learn and give them challenges - they will often surprise you.
