Yesterday, I finally quit my job in public accounting. It’s one of the biggest risks that I’ve taken. Instead, I’m going to dedicate myself full-time to starting a career in the computer programming industry.
There were too many days where I woke up and dreaded going to work. The work was boring and pointless. I had gotten into the Tax field thinking that I could find a job that I found bearable, and follow the American dream of making 6 figures, getting married, getting a mortgage and having kids.
But fuck this shit! I definitely can’t be mindlessly preparing tax returns for the rest of my life. I haven’t found many posts that talk about people’s thought processes while quitting their comfortable accounting jobs and pursuing their passions. I’ll be updating this with my own insights and all the details that you might be worried about.
Good luck to all my CPA’s out there.
