I'm a former accountant, but still designated. Left a pretty lucrative career since I wasn't enjoying the work, wasn't enjoying any work/life balance, and didn't really get any satisfaction from the career in general. Tried a few different paths as an accountant.
Now I work for a municipality (yay unions, thanks NDP!) in a non-accounting role that still lets me use my experience and soft skills and challenges me enough to stay interested, but I have normal hours and work 9 days every two weeks. The pay sucks but it'll get better. Really enjoying what I do right now and the people I work with.
