If the future of finance is software, then I’m thinking CPAs aren’t part of that future (at least not for a while). What’s the crypto/DeFi CPA? Does that exist yet?

Going through this right now and it has me questioning my entire career choice. It’s unbearable. I can’t believe the amount of adult people who act like children in the workplace.
⬆️ = Me.
I felt like this and it ended up just being the wrong agency for me (toxic, catty, political). It was them, it wasn’t me, but it shook my confidence for a while. Just get outta there. There’s likely nothing you can do.
Left for something less toxic.
Have 1:1s with people you work with. Don’t ask if they hate you but have a clear topic about work in the spirit of collaboration or asking questions or working through something. You will get a better sense of where you stand.
I’ve come to the inevitable conclusion that the pain per dollar earned ratio for this industry makes it untenable for me. I’m tapping out after a couple decades. Such a bummer. It used to be fun and actually cool and inspiring. Now it’s a shell of itself filled with trauma. Some self-imposed. Some from clients. Some from technology. I wish everyone all the best.
When I was in healthcare! I remember Q4 is a very stressful & intense time. It’s s constant reminder on why I went to the client side. I say if it doesn’t change in Q1 that’s your answer. Is it a stressful time of year vs a toxic team environment? Two totally different things. Sometimes, it’s both. If you get constant migraine headaches & the Sunday scaries around 6pm. Time to start interviewing.
Dealt with it for a hot second then I realized that I’d rather be unemployed for a bit than have that environment ruined everything I have built for myself mentally. It’s just not the place for me and thats okay, there’s plenty of opportunities out there and they are not the only place to work at out there.
Leave. A lot of places breed toxicity and the people isolated are fine. But the environment creates it.
