I never regretted on all the career that i made, i treat it as a lesson/to move forward.
Once you in the work force for quite some time, maybe 4-5 years or so, you will realise that have a good team, supportive boss and company with opportunities to grow > hoop for other high salary job


But one need to understand, you are always being compensate on how much value you can bring to the table.

Audit is tough.
Glc finance is tough too.
Listed co finance is tough and have long hour too.

If one want wlb, you can do the lowest end acc job, admin acc exec (2.5k or low) , still need OT.

There is no high pay , great wlb, except onlyfans I think

Feel free to correct me
