Bro, I got bad news for you.

When you find yourself saying things like “back when I” or “back in my day” or “during my time”

It’s a sign you are old and outdated. You may be feeling a disconnect to the current reality and trying to live in denial that times have changed.

No point talking about the past already la.

Y'all auditors just keep your head down and work la. Don't complain so much

Other service lines in consulting, advisory cutting ppl becos not enough work. Deloitte just mass layoff 800 people. EY US layoff 3k ppl. EY UK also cutting 5% headcount. all from advisory side.

audit isn't glamorous but someone has to do it. be grateful you hv a job. audit is iron rice bowl won't chop one. so don't mess up your privileged position.

that's why i always tell my interns to take analytics or comp sci on the side instead of doing 100% accounting. at least they still have a chance to change while those of us graduated these 2 years can't do much

Fair enough, agree that fresh graduates would have chosen their course 3 to 4 years ago, longer for our NSmen.

But rather than “just” 4 years ago, it’s really more like “freaking four years ago”

It’s still time to either move on or make the best of your life decisions, take responsibility and ownership of the choices you made, even though you could not have foreseen current circumstances back then.

I don’t think this is a fair statement. If it’s a professional degree you have studied for, then it’s reasonable to assume that you would enter the profession and make a career out of it.

Of course, generally, the vicissitudes of life gets to everyone and we have to adapt accordingly - but this is a cold comfort advice when you tell someone to suddenly pivot like this.

Fully agree, as adults you should stop blaming other people for your decisions.

Take ownership and man up.

You chose this, so suck it up and deal with it.

Not happy, either leave, or stay long enough to change from within if you believe you can do that.
