    Congrats on leaving! I wasn't in the big four but was in multiple different corporate companies and had the exact same experience. I just quit a month ago myself and from what I got out of it: working long hours for pennies (even though I was making six figures), major decline in mental health eventually affecting my physical health, corporate politics is real and i'm not about it, got major ptsd from the chimes of outlook and teams, hated every second working and not working because all i could think about was work or the thought of having to go/login to work during the weekends or PTO, the stress anxiety gave me such bad heart palpitations, headaches and strained neck muscles, got no energy for anything. I still had anxiety during my last 2 weeks but after it was over is when I felt peace but I still get ptsd from the outlook and teams chimes. I will never work in corporate accounting again or any corporate job ever again. The only thing i regret was not quitting earlier so i commend you on taking early action to change your life for the better. Wishing you luck!

    Dont give up on accounting career just because of one bad experience at a "Big Four" firm. There are so many opportunities in the field of accounting and finance it is a good career path. Try to find a small local CPA/accounting firm that works with small businesses that sort of work is a lot more fun and rewarding than being in a cult corporate environment. Im at a small firm and I love the work I do nobody micromanages me and after only one year I am already doing most sections of the audit and preparing the financial statements If I have a question I just ask the partner who has over 30 years experience and he teaches me how to do everything.

    I'm actually considering going into this field and I am exactly like you in terms of need for fulfilment and creativity. I'm getting scared.

      Do not go into audit if you want to have an ounce of creativity in your work

    Why every Big 4 accounting about 25? There's so many quitting and starting UA-cam. I'm also 25 but in IT nothing like FAANG. Did they scar everyone in layoffs?

    What service line? While there are big culture and workload problems in larger firms right now, I still see lots of lucrative opportunities being in the accounting profession.
