After due deliberation, I finally made up my mind to go for a secondment to tax advisory. In many respects, it is a different job scope and probably requiring different set of skills compared to my current job as an auditor.
Why the change? With all due respect, I have nothing against audit. For me, audit is interesting since I get to experience and look at different sets of controls and operations done in different companies. There are many different types of companies in the business world, ranging from small ones to really big ones. But, I think it is time to stop and relook at the which direction I am headed towards.
I believe I have reached a point where I just keep walking into a brickwall everyday I go to work. Personal goals I have set to meet on a monthly basis have become unachievable and I now start questioning my positioning in the auditing field. The moment I start doubting my own capabilities, that's when I know I've got a problem.
I remember walking into the firm the first day of work with the absolute gung-ho spirit beaming all over me! The only thing in my mind that time was a bright future ahead. After one and a half years, I now understand that one cannot force everything to bend the way you want them to bend. Muddling through a sticky situation can get you places but unfortunately one cannot muddle through forever. It simply drains your energy and motivation, leaving you in a very hateful state.
Well, after all the thinking and evaluation - I decided on the transfer but I thank God that I have been given the opportunity of a secondment first to see if I am comfortable in the new department before I actually do a transfer......... see how it goes from there! :)
