Go to Siegfried group NAH JK 😹😆

Aim for a senior accountant role that acts like a generalist and is involved in month end close and financial reporting. It’s a good option that keeps doors open as opposed to internal audit or revenue accounting.

Try them all until you find the role you like. Public account isn’t the only good exit point. You can even move internally at the next company you work at.

Don’t try, don’t know.

Don’t leave until you know what you enjoy. If you aren’t discovering what you enjoy, switch the type of projects/industries you’re working on.

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
