Re: just put my 2 weeks in....

congrats sean glad to see you moving in the right direction

recently i have been pondering our existence here on earth and questioning all i do. i feel that humans are very selfish and in the vast existence of the universe what we do with are lives is so insignificant its scary. yet people stress over things that are so minimal its not even funny. people buy real expensive watches... why? its fucking metal on your wrist that tells time. people get real upset when they cant get silly material items (im guilty here too of course). moving up in your job, social status, others opinion of you? i feel if i am this tiny insignificant piece of matter on a planet hurling through space i may as well be happy or do something to help people.... people dying in africa due to aids/starvation/genocide, and here people get upset when they hit traffic... makes me sick. i mean seriously whats the point of this 9-5 life? dont know why i do it... when i find my calling i am gone! i am someone who never valued money or a job over my friends and feel i have soo many memories others who suffered working dont.

glad you are realizing whats important sean, good luck!

Congrats mate, sometimes a change of pace is a real good thing, especially if it's been a while.

I also put my 2 weeks in on Friday. Couldn't come at a better time and my salary will be 1.5 times what it is here Can't argue with that!

I'm hoping for an overseas holiday for a week or so and start the new job after that.

Bring on the fresh starts!

Re: just put my 2 weeks in....

yup..... its weird. i have worked at this firm since i was 17, and i have been doing tax returns since im 19. its all i have known for the last decade of my life. but i just can t do this any more. i need more of a life outside this office. i work like i own the place, but i dont.

im leaving for a position at franklin first finanacial, but also, i am interviewing a job for UBS in the controllers office.

congrats sean! change is allways good for you! 10 years is waaaaay tooooo looooong to be stuck at one place - wish you all the best at the new job!!

dood get into finance. investment banking is where the cheddah is at. either that, or hedge accounting. i could list half a dozen places here that are looking for people with hedge accounting experience. fantastic money in that as well...

agreed

...and then you can really kiss any chance of having a life outside of work goodbye.

not at all - its just a stereotype so stupid ppl wouldnt bother to try

but you can retire @ 40...

ok, well maybe 45.

you can retire financialy in 5 years but you never really want to retire, couse being good at what you do is more important than earning all of this money imo, and yet you can finally choose and do the things you want to do in your time
