I'm working as an accountant at a big 4 firm and fucking hate it. Are there any finance jobs that are actually interesting and involve more analytical work?

Maybe working for the city?
Look through tax dollars and analyze how they're used

Same boat here. It's a midwit IQ field anon. You're looking for where there is none. Wage it for a couple years, put all money to crypto and quit.

Auditing is pretty based. Finding were tax cheats hide their money is like detective work.

Forensic accounting? I went on a tinder date with a forensic accountant and she was passionate as fuck about it and it sounded interesting.
Pay check is probably way smaller than a corporate gig though.

If accounting is your field, you ever consider forensic accounting?

I'm asking as an accounting student considering the same kind of job. I have no idea whether it's actually a decent career or not aside from it being rather secure

I'm an environmental scientist and I enjoy it for the most part. Unfortunately I live somewhere with 5 months of winter so the outdoor component becomes both impractical and terrible but...we can't all just live in California, I guess.

Ironically automated accounting will come long before automated warehouse workers. Yet everyone seems to think the latter job is the one with not much time left.

Just wage it out as long as you can. Those firms treat newbies like shit for a few years before offering promotions and stuff.
If it's still shit after that then yeah maybe try a government job.

High school teacher (at private high school full of rich kids). I love public speaking and history. I studied Hitler speeches and reproduce it in my classes. Kids love it.

Enterprise sales if you like to talk to people and want to try to close seven figure business deals.
