I’m not at a Big 4, but if it were me, I’d be looking at Senior Accountant roles. Preferably at a mid-size company that is not backed my private equity.

After years of grinding away and burning myself out in public, I’d want to be in a chill industry role for a couple of years to relax and maybe improve my technical skillset (VBA, etc.).

Just find a role that’s WFH, better pay, and capped at 40 hours and it’s instantly 10x better than B4

WFH, better pay, AND capped at hours?

In this economy?!

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.
