frick that.
How many days off do you have? Time to line up some interviews and burn sick days while looking or interviewing.
I would not quit without something lined up. But I am a RN (guy so no pics). In Houston I can walk out right now and have another job. Wouldn’t be perfect but it would be a job. But our job markets are apples and oranges.

No. That’s a core rule of success. Don’t quit a job without having already accepted another one.

If you are a white dude in management I would absolutely positively not jump without something lined up.
DEI is messing things up big time with regards to upper middle and executive management hiring because they have to meet their diversity goals or the CEO and C level people lose part of their bonus in many cases.
The downstream result at many spots are that they aren’t hiring white guys until the quotas are met period.

Go to work for a client. How many years do you have? Public accounting is not fun, but not much else is either.

I got laid off from a job I hated and it took me four months to find a new job. I had actually started looking 2 months before getting laid off. So it took me 6 months to find a new job.
Absolutely awful experience. Looking for a job right now absolutely sucks, especially if you don’t already have one. I would not recommend quitting. If you think they are going to let you go, maybe hold off until they do that so you can collect unemployment to at least keep you afloat.
That said, if you are comfortable quitting and burning through savings then go for it. I personally would want to avoid that.

Seeing how you act with your post here it's not at all surprising you struggle in the real world.

What’s your experience? What have you worked on? Tax or audit? What state?
What are you frustrated with?
Have you talked to a recruiter yet?
I don’t want you to out yourself but there are enough CPAs on here that we can probably help you.

So by your logic we should stop working? Stop bending over. Take a stance. Don’t worry about the bills when they pile up, don’t worry about the debt, send our kids to public schools, collect welfare and government assistance. Start robbing to make ends meet. Blame it on my surroundings. Finish off life in jail.
Tbh you sound like white trash by this rebuttal. Sorry baw, you shouldn’t have been a pipe fitter slaving away for that overtime check.

I just took a look at your posts, and you’re complaining and griping in almost all of them. You seem like a pretty angry and miserable person.
I wouldn’t go around pointing the finger at others for bad posts. Maybe some professional counseling would do you some good.

I took off an entire month before I went back to work and it was awesome.
I did this too, and to be honest it kind of messed with me. I didn’t realize it would feel that much different than taking a vacation. It was probably the most free I’ve felt in a long time and I probably won’t feel it again unless I do it again before another job change or retire.

I got married with no job…had just moved from San Francisco to New Orleans and worked until the day we moved. I got offered jobs at our reception, bad situation.

Sounds like a job for…quiet quitting while you job search.

Easier to find a job when you have a job.

Public accounting is a miserable job and I don’t know how people do it their entire careers
Posted on 1/17/24 at 6:50 pm to cbree88
Could you do a hybrid?
Quit, but do taxes at H&R or other bullshite 30 hrs a week?
That way have interview/search flexibility, but not 0 income.
Also, what does wife make?
What are expenses?
What is her opinion?

I have done so once, in 20+ years of working full time. The circumstances were pretty unique, though. Boss tried to castigate us as a team, boot camp style, and I voiced some objections that were legitimate, even in hindsight.
It turned into a bit of a rant, though. I didn't expect to be fired the next day, necessarily, but I felt the die was cast. I had enough money in my checking account to live a few months, so I went in the next morning and bowed out. Boss wasn't there yet (work ethic rant much, Jason?) so I went to his boss and explained it.
I had a new job about a month later, but a month without pay is a big deal. I think I was making right around $9,000 per month at the time, so it was a very cathartic, $9,000 rant.
In hindsight I think both of us feel bad about it. It turned out better for me, I think, but I can't be sure.
