Okay, so I know it may sound like I’m being whiney and all, but I just started at a public accounting firm about a month ago and I already hate it. The job started with a week training crash course, then I was immediately assigned to a client. The worst part is my engagement team is AWFUL, which may be the reason I hate the job so much. They have no personality and my senior is constantly stopping me in the middle of me doing one assignment, and laying another one on me. It makes me feel completely overwhelmed. It’s not even busy season yet which is the crazy part! But anyways, my days involve my team of about 4, sitting in a cramped conference room for 8 hours a day churning out work. There’s hardly any conversation, and we’re not allowed to listen to music as we don’t want to give a bad look to the client. So I spend most of the time in silence with only the sound of rapid typing of my team to provide background noise. My coworkers lack personality and it shows as we have no type of chemistry. I am seriously regretting ever taking this job, and have considered leaving as soon as I can. I know some people say just to tough it out for a few years while I get my cpa, but I honestly don’t think it’s worth being miserable. I actually am thinking about a career change as I don’t think the sedimentary life style that comes with accounting fits me. I consider myself much more active and high energy which is why I have started applying to police departments. In college I worked for my school’s department and actually sparked an interest in the field. Sorry for the rambling, but if you made it this far I’d appreciate to hear what you think.
