Who wants to exit accounting? It is great. Maybe exit audit? What part of accounting are we trying to exit? Accountants live the longest and work the least and get paid the most. Only the first quarter is challenging with long hours. What have you all been doing/why the exit discussion? Crappy Managers hurting you? Technical learning issues? Please spill.

Its not only first quarter is challenging. There is something going on throughout the year and it’s like you are never out of the busy season at all. May be you get a slow day here and there but overall it’s the long hours and unreasonable expectations that will make me quit. Plus some managers and above don’t treat you like human.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
