What’s the best role for an accountant who doesn’t want to be doing technical accounting? I feel like public accounting is for me outside of the hours, but it’s all I know. I’m interested in sales, staff development, training, recruiting , community relations, etc.

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

Additional Posts in Accounting Exit Opportunities

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?
