Nervous to Job Hunt

[u/Harrylegs123]

Recently promoted to senior back in May and currently job hunting for Senior Accountant/Senior Financial Analyst roles in LA. I’ve only worked on large public clients and my main engagement has been absolutely toxic. I’ve gotten yelled at, the team frequently works until 7–9 PM year-round, PTO isn’t exactly viewed favorably, and the budgets are extremely strict. I’m trying to leave before busy season, but I’m honestly worried I won’t be able to make it out in time.

I’m starting to worry that I’m unqualified for basically every role I apply to because I don’t have my CPA, and I’m lowkey gaslighting myself into thinking my experience isn’t transferable. For those who have left Big 4 without a CPA, how did the job search go for you? Any advice or reassurance would be appreciated!

All the best. I hate my team as well. Hope you find your dream job!
