Hello fastlaners,
I am making this thread as sort of a vent but more importantly something I can look back on and remind myself. I have followed, blindly, the traditional slowlane pathway to life. I went to college - got a Bachelors and Masters degree in Accounting, passed my CPA exams and got into a big 4 firm.
I just turned 23 and I have been working there for 4 months and hate it. I mostly took the job because a) I would be able to audit companies and small businesses which I find intriguing, b) it would give me a steady source of income ($60k/salary), c) It was the next step as I don't know what to do as far as fastlane opportunities.
However, as each day passes I realize that this isnt for me and I would hate my life if this was my career. I don't really know where to go from here, I have read MJs book, I read this forum daily, and anything else I can get my hands on.
I guess I am wondering for those of you who were in my position, what did you do? Did you leave the job immediately and start pursing opportunities? Thanks for any advice and good luck to all!
