Posting this because I wish I had a mentor that explained this to me. I think accounting is genuinely one of the most “flexible” degrees because you can add value in ANY field just by understanding financials and business. It’s so easy to “merge” your experience in tons of different sectors. However it’s also filled with people who frown upon thinking outside the box. Posting this for anyone feeling like they need a change! I hope it helps🥲 #accounting #big4 #careeradvice #cpa #careerchange
