84: ACCOUNTANTS - What to Do if You’re Dissatisfied in Your Career | A Former Client’s Turnaround Story from Public Accounting to being a Director of a Startup
Hey accountants - we see you! This week's guest, Megan McGinnis, and I BOTH began the first two years of our careers working for two of the "Big 4" Public Accounting Firms. Megan was in Audit and I was on the advisory side of the business in Tech Consulting.
We know that, especially if you've worked SO hard to earn your master's degree and take your CPA exams, it can be ESPECIALLY difficult to consider leaving the field to "start over" in a new one if you're feeling dissatisfied.
That's why Megan came on the show to share her crazy encouraging story of reclaiming hope, excitement, and peace in her career after making a HUGE pivot this summer!
In less than 6 months, Megan:
1) Went through the career coaching process with me and discerned the new path she was called to pursue
2) Left accounting and started a fully booked out business as a Virtual Assistant
3) Was taken on as a full-time employee by one of her Start Up clients, where she now serves as the Director of Operations!
In this episode, Megan shares:
- Advice on how to know if it’s time to leave
- How to know if you should just work as an accountant for a different company vs. switch career paths altogether
- Practices you can use to make your time in accounting more life-giving if you’re feeling called to stay, even if for just one more busy season
- Words of comfort and wisdom if you’re worried about “sunk cost” or wasting your accounting experience if you choose to switch career paths
- I also share my prayer for you and your career at the end of the episode!
Enjoy!!
P.S. In the episode, I mentioned that Megan is a licensed CPA. I forget to mention that she's technically just a CPA candidate as her application is still pending in the Covid slow-down! *s/o to all you detailed-oriented accountants who read the fine print* haha
