If you've realized accounting isn't for you, you won't be throwing away your degree by making a career change.⁣
⁣
However, you WILL be throwing away the next 40 years of your life by staying in the wrong career just because you spent 4 years studying for it.⁣
⁣
Making a career change doesn't negate all of the experience and credentials you've accumulated over the past few years. If you know it's not right for you, it's time to start thinking about other options.⁣
⁣
Luckily, we've got a whole podcast where you can hear stories and advice from those who have entered and left the accounting world 😉⁣

A common theme we've noticed among accountants is that many of us don't feel like we're making a real impact with our work.⁣
⁣
It's a common reason we hear among our guests who leave large public accounting firms for smaller firms and family-owned businesses, where they feel like they can see the impact of their work.⁣
⁣
So we're curious - do you find your accounting work fulfilling? 🤔⁣

There is still so much you can do with an accounting degree! #busyseason #publicaccounting #big4

@miss__nacional @corporately_nicole | “There’s no point for you to stress out or affect your mental health to try and fit societal or accounting norms of staying until senior...” We had a lot of laughs on the episode with @corporately_nicole! She shares her unexpected journey through #publicaccounting and so much more. New episode is out on all major podcast platforms! Link in bio 🤩

Going through some of our older episodes and thought it was so important to share this segment from our episode with @madison_flo and @miss__nacional | For our listeners who are close to graduating college - it’s ok to not know what you’re doing for the rest of your career! Some enjoy this career path more than others, it’s a matter of trying it out for yourself to make your own judgement. #publicaccounting #accounting #big4

“The idea that you have to have it all figured out by 25 is just crazy.” @b4andafterpod @miss__nacional | Embracing change during our mid 20s is a sign of growth and maturity! Our guest on episode 5 shared how she was able to work at a Big 4 without a college degree and stated the importance of staying true to your authentic self.
