Where do you go after B4 audit if you don’t want to go to industry that has true work life balance? I’ve been busy since September straight... this won’t end for a while. I enjoy accounting and enjoy being challenged, but my mental and physical health are also falling by the wayside. I’m only in my second year, but I’ve been working in full senior capacity for a while. I like the research/memo writing side of the job the most (when I get to do it). Just tired of the hours.

"Industry" is not just 1 job - There's all three LOD in industry - accounting or finance departments or actual revenue generating parts of businesses, compliance or risk management, and then internal audit.

EY FAAS

I’ve heard that it’s easier to jump from firm to firm instead of internally transferring. Is this true? I’m guessing there’s FAAS equivalents at the other B4 or mid tier firms.
