Need some career help/advice from the lovely another71 family.
So I’ve had the opportunity to work for several public accounting firms over the years, but have come to find it is not worth it. I work well with others and perform my work with great attention to detail, but somehow I do not last longer than one year at a firm because management becomes unnecessarily aggressive with me to the point I feel in danger. I’ve always thought it was part of some sort of training, but this is a recurring event that is concerning.
Regardless of the above, I would like to enter private accounting world and have had the opportunity to interview with a few companies. As you’d imagine, they ask me questions about my previous positions and why I only worked for a year at those firms.
How do I answer this question in an interview? Tell them it was not a good fit? Tell them I was treated unfairly? Tell them it was not challenging for me and was not happy in public accounting?
Any advice on this would be of great help. Or please point me in the right direction to someone who can. Perhaps I can visit career services at my alma mater?
