mate it's OK

we all have been young and made mistakes. Obviously you shouldn't be jobhopping all the time; but if you hate it there, it is okay to change. No point in remaining in a job you hate, and desu your coworkers sound like exceptional cunts.

Just make sure you don't do anything retarded. Start job hunting now and hold it out until you have a new position. Tell your employer you are leaving within the adequate time, and this is it.

Quit now, you'll work it out.

Do not waste your life doing something you hate.

Don't do this.

>What's your hourly rate and how many hours a week do you work?

I have a monthly salary which is the standard entry level salary for my line of work

Work hours are not regulated, sometimes I've stayed until 8PM, most of the time I come in just before 9AM and leave a bit after 5PM.

It's not entirely a choice, really. The region I live in has an insane shortage in housing. Moving to the city I work in is just not possible financially for me.

This together with the fact that I thought beggars can't be choosers when I just started hunting for jobs, made me jump at this opportunity. Also, the job market for graduates in my town is small, compared to the city I currently work in.

Don't get me wrong. This is an excellent entry level job in accounting, but this is not the path I want. It's far from certain that I can even get another job, but I feel atleast I have to try to get a job in my own town.

no one really cares. if they ask just say you were not enjoying the commute but you liked the company.

Ive job hopped like a maniac, theres holes in my cv where i just quit sometimes and ive got by with some of my previous places not giving me a reference.

Dont stress too much. do what you want to do. fuck doing it 'the right way' . things tend to work out if youre a good employee when youre actually there.

If it goes tits up completely join a temp agency.

Wait, don't accountants earn good money ?

Your job might feel insufferable now, but you should keep working as an accountant and socialize some more with your colleagues.

Very few people truly enjoy their job/career.

You've stated that you're not good at producing an annual report.

Work on this weak point and do it for the money.

That's what I'd do if I were you.

Tough it out OP, ask for extra work, and excel. It's ok to eat shit for one year. Those of us on /biz/ who work have eaten shit for a little while.

After a year in, or 9 months start feeling around. You will have something on your resume, and hopefully can talk about all the projects and initiatives you took on when you interview somewhere else.

Stop acting like your entitled to a great job, just eat your shit and smile, you'll get to where you want to be eventually

you're literally the worst kind of person m8

different profession but i was in the exact same spot you are in anon

Do not quit yet. money is the only reason
Start job hunting immediately and quit when you have secured a new job, the only damage you should be absorbing is the days you miss work to attend interviews (who can prove you do not have stomach flew?)
your first job will not hurt your carrier as long as you phrase it correctly when asked why you quit your job in interviews. good answers are always in the form of "ï was not challenged enough"

Also a good use of the commute time would be using this time to read and expand your knowledge of the financial world because uni is not exactly the best place to prepare you for real life.

don't exaggerate. it's true that most people do not like their jobs and do it only because of income security at best.
if you think that this is not a true fact then you are the worst kind of person my friend. the delusional kind that think wealth can be made easily with no effort or sacrifice.

I guess senior accountants that've been in a firm for 10+ years make bank, but it is obvious from looking at my colleagues that I don't want to work at any firm for such a long time. Accounting in itself is just so violently uninteresting and looking at my mentor of sorts, having been in the profession for 10 years, going on about taxes, VAT and regulations makes me never want to never be like him

I looked up salary statistics for the type of consultant that me and him are, and I'm pretty much at the average at my entry level.

What I would like to do is to get into politics, and that process is in motion but it's not something that I can take to the bank at the moment. I figure I might try to get into banking, controlling, sales or marketing.

I'd probably enjoy the work I have now if it werent for the colleages, constant stress and the commuting. Due to my long commute I feel that I just can't squeeze enough out of myself to go the extra mile that I want to go when I'm at work. Some days I want to, and need to, work 10+ hours but I can't because I have commitments at home to attend to.

>After a year in, or 9 months start feeling around

I'm gonna ask for a sit down for a performance review with my boss in mid june when I'll have worked there 6 months. I think I'm a quick learner but I'm also a bit insecure as to how my performance so far have been. I want to be completely honest and put my cards on the table: tell him that the commute is killing me and give them a heads-up that I might be on my way out pretty soon.
