I was in a similiar position.I was not let go but put on a performance plan.I already had 2 years experience so I bounced.

I was willing to walk away with no job by that point but I got one the day I sent in my resignation.I did not know anyone in my new company it was just a random application.I chalk it up to divine providence.

I am doing much better in my current job but I knew that when I left my first firm it was mainly due to political reasons(could not vibe with a senior).

Looking back I realise I should have left much sooner.I also wasnt suited to the fast paced nature of auditing.I always did all my work on time but I was miserable and some people labelled me as entitled because I wasnt happy about worlking till 2 am every night.I dont blame them.I knew what it was like before I joined.I just thought I could handle not having a life for a paycheque and I couldnt.

My advice to the young me is to follow your gut.I knew I wasnt a good fit for audit and I even texted a friend right after I began saying"Tbh I kind of knew after my internship ended I dont wanna do this but idk what else to do."

It was hard walking away.As accounting students we are always told that public accounting is the only way to succeed.Partially,thats why I am retraining soon and taking a Masters in Comp Sci.I just wasnt the type of person who was comfortable with such a defined path.

I will never again stay in a job where I am not happy.Life is too short.Since leaving I am so much happier.I have no idea what the future holds and maybe all my friends who stuck it out would really be much more successful than me but tbh i dont really care anymore as long as I get to live a life which is mine.
