Hey guys, In this video I talk about why I quit my job as a tax manager and why I decided to leave the accounting industry. I also talk about what I plan to do next in my career and what’s in store for this channel.

Yes! PTL! I love how you’re so brave for taking on your dreams instead of just keeping your head down and surviving day to day. I know you haven’t figured it all out, but that’s okay! No one has! I can’t wait to see more content on this channel. I know you’ve already taught me so much about my finances (through this channel and off) and it’s made such a huge impact in my life for the better. Can’t wait for others to benefit from all of your hard work and experiences! <3
I’m in love with you ❤💕😘😘😘
Your welcome
Good night jen
being an accontant is horrible tedious life sucking job
OMG Jen , you are my identical twin. The whole time you were talking, I felt as though you were describing my life, 1 thing that’s different
is I got an offer to work for a big 4 for a role of a tax manager but didn’t take it thinking that the time and effort you put in is not worth it. Yes, there is money, but it cannot buy happiness. I decided to continue teaching which gives me flexibility and a feeling of contributing to someone’s growth in the long run. Good luck in your future endeavours.
Wait come back
I’m back! New video posting Sundays @ 5!
Good advice
Accounting is a horrible proffession. The long unpaid hours, the university degree and cpa. The money is not that good when you think about the long unpaid hours and study required.
Strange industry because its a badge of honour to work long hours and hate your life
Only work houy
why are there unpaid hours?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Maria Mocyree Maningding salary based.
This channel sucks ! Thank god I changed my major to computer science !!!!
I am also a CPA and I too got burned out from public accounting. After the death of a loved one , I finally decided I will always take health over wealth for my remaining lifetime.
Heath > Wealth for sure 👏👏
Holy COW, we have the exact same career progression! I did two years in B4 and then moved to a mid sized firm. After getting more free time, I’ve also realized that I just can’t do public anymore, and I don’t think that it’s any better in industry. It seems like I’m burning out every couple of months, and it’s really not sustainable. It feels like I’ve lost the first three years of my post-college life, suffered a lot health wise, and I don’t want this future for myself. I’m looking to reset into a field that treats its workers better and compensates them better, too. Happy for you that you got out, and thank you for making people like me feel less alone in our decisions to leave when most people just stick it out.
You really sound like me! What field are you looking into @hi?
❤❤❤
I just came across your video. It’s funny because I am currently searching for tax accountant positions. I started college late, but during my undergrad I got an auditor internship at a mid tier firm in LA. I saw the writing on the wall (long hours and heartless seniors/partners). I quit after 10 months even though they gave me an offer.
Fast forward to 3 months ago. I got my MBA option Accounting. Now I am looking for a private company that offers work life balance and decent pay. I am also finishing my community college teacher certificate with a local state university to gain teaching experience. I got an internship at my local CC( plan to teach intro business). Definitely will agree with you about accounting. Life is short; why work your butt off for public accounting? Not worth it. Good luck! 🍀
I’ve been an accountant for 20 years and I hate it with all my heart. I struggle with severe depression because I don’t know how to get out. I want to be free so bad, I’m a VP now, make money but I cry everyday over it.
If you are interested, become a teacher….there are so many teacher preparation programs out there for career changes with no experience in education.
I’m a general contractor I’m 26 years old but I hate every single day the it’s super cold in the super hot in the summer can’t enjoy a warm meal no restroom’s available I’m super dirty people don’t want to pay after the project is done I’m going into accounting it’s the small things for me
I’m a classroom teacher currently and thinking of switching my career to accounting…
go for it. why not? If you’re mentally prepared and as long as you make sure you work out and physically fit.. everything will be alright
Accountants are just the plumbers of business. It is a tedious, nerve wracking job for people like me who has no raw talents, creativities, and entrepreneurship to begin with. 😂 I am also too poor to quit, too old to find a sugar daddy. Luck you!
Kudos to you choosing your own peace ❤
