What are good exits from Accounting Advisory? Overall I don’t want a role where I’ll be bored and I’m afraid any industry accounting role I jump to will be very routine/repetitive.

Technical accounting. Although yeah, you'll be pretty bored doing that.

Audit

whyre you leaving accounting advisory? it does exactly what you're looking for in terms of variety of projects and clients, no?

True. I think you are right. I actually love everything about my role except for the WLB which I tolerate since I’m fairly young.

I’m more so just trying to understand what my options are in the future and how I can position myself for those options. I don’t see myself staying in FAAS forever so getting a sense of what my next steps could be would be helpful.

I exit to a regulatory reporting role and I’m doing the same thing daily.

i feel like there is no such exciting jobs that you can do so much different things regularly. even dancers practice the same movements over and over to excel the performance. i remember when i learned ballet, i only was allowed to do the same movements over and over for months. it is a muscle training though it seems mundane, when you can do mundane things without any error without knowing it then you will be the master but do we really truly know about accounting rules when it keeps getting updated? idk, i learned last year by side gig-ing at a farmers market during off busy season. this is so repetitive and boring and i dont wanna do a manual labour.

Welcome to the dark side, straight jackets to the left, helmets to the right, stay away from my purple crayon.
