Quality of life and remotely liking what I do. I’m trying to pivot out of audit now. I’m good, but I don’t actually like the personalities of most of the people I work with, most of my year I work on projects I don’t care about, and I derive most of my happiness outside of work- but very much funded by an income that this profession easily affords and I might not have elsewhere.

If you can afford to. I did this and it took me almost six years to get back to the salary I was at when I shifted. Was it worth it? 100% but I could afford it so it didn’t bring any additional stress with it.

Comfortable income, low stress environment, flexible working schedule, so I can enjoy the other part of my life 😑

Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?
