About this listen
In this episode of Career Convos with Nikki, I share my personal journey navigating the choice between public accounting and industry. I talk about the early career pressures I faced, the stigma around public accounting, and why I intentionally chose a different path. I also discuss the challenges of job hopping, finding the right fit, and how I learned to trust my instincts when it comes to career moves.
I reflect on my time at GE, where I truly grew professionally and developed deep expertise in capital markets and securitization. I explain why it took me almost nine months to get comfortable with my role and how that experience shaped my approach to career growth.
If you’re an accountant weighing your options or feeling unsure about the traditional career blueprint, this episode offers honest insights and encouragement to build a fulfilling career that works for you.
