You could maybe transfer to audit or find a FP&A or other industry accounting role. But I was in the same boat and chose MBA and it was a great decision. Happy to chat more

What do you want to do? Or what do you find interesting? Accountants are able to pivot to other areas and there is much more to accounting than just tax.

I’m trying to figure out what other avenues that people took and end up liking? I heard FPA is a common one. But what type of other accounting are there that we can get into?

Can you tell us what you do and don't like about tax?

I'm in a tax specialty role. Something like that may interest you but it depends on what you dislike about tax.

You could enter a niche market within the tax industry, like Cost Segregation.

Also Property Management / Hotel / Travel is a fun field where accounting is a major necessity. Plus it would come with perks depending on the company.
