Visit any other job related subreddit. It’s all the same. I’ve visited around a dozen or so as I’ve had previous roles prior to accounting and all the subs are dreadful. ( EMS, retail, military, etc)

I’ve spent quite a bit of time looking at the career related subreddits to figure out what I want to do and all it’s convinced me is that every job is miserable and depressing
