Hi everyone, I'm not an understudy anymore but instead have been reading these gatherings actually about callings. I'm having a bit of a "crisis" with my calling at present and not certain where I should go immediately.. was hoping for some direction/opinion.

I'm correct now earning £50k in a 9-5 occupation in the private medium-sized association division accountants in UK. 2 years post qualified ACA, trained with top20 survey firm, not first time passes.

In the beginning, it was distressing on a case-by-case basis to oversee month-end deadlines, unbelievable shippers, etc anyway by and by I've died down into the work it's less difficult and I've moved the extent that the genuine work, doing extra interesting things.

The hours are incredible and I'm not at all engaged. Have 1 and a half hours lunch most days, leave spots on 5 even at month-end, accomplices are generally wonderful.

I feel like I should be content with it yet a ton of my school colleagues went into medicine and law and regardless of the way that they give off an impression of being altogether more stressed I bet they're earning £70k+ now.

I was certainly not an incredible understudy (didn't get into a top uni) and kind of fell into doing what I'm doing not typical for my allies who went to oxford/Cambridge and were really ambitious..... however, by and large, a comparable I'm wondering in case I should point higher, endeavor to get more money.

exactly when I was doing ACA I expected to get into a bank or something yet I suck at numeracy tests/assessment concentrates so expected to "settle" for my current work.

So just required your opinion on here in case I should basically be happy with my work or am I taking the easy way out? I'm 27 and at times, I think if I don't lock in now when am I going to?
