I fucking suck at/hate auditing, team has told me need to improve during busy season or ill be put on a PIP. What jobs do accountants that hate accounting do?

Big 4 salaries come with big burnout risks. I'm currently at Deloitte, and I'm running on fumes. However, I'm too afraid to take a step back or take time off because I never know when layoffs will hit and I don't want to be seen as weak. So I keep pushing myself. How do you guys work yourself to the point of exhaustion and yet avoid burnout?
Marry rich...
Well im not on PIP yet, but if I get s bad review during busy season I most likely will be. Feel like I've slowly been improving and working hard. Oh well
Auditing does suck. I audit tax provisions and dread it every time. Don't know how people do it day to day.

Sugar mama dude!
Surprise you weren't let go. With the firings happening at EY.
Been doing it for 1.5 years, do not want to be a senior in anyway but also don't want to be a staff accountant in industry and essentially start over
I'm a guy... fuck

accounting is very different from auditing. you should do accounting, much easier
What's pip
PIP = Performance Improvement Plan
If you hate audit and have been doing audit for 3+ busy seasons, consider trying a different firm (if it's the people) or a different line of service.
Just take the 15-20% pay increase and go into industry. If you are already ready to give it up there's no point in putting in the effort to bounce back from Pip to promotable
You'll be fine. Or not. Don't worry too much & do your best. Don't let your team convince you that 75 hour weeks are normal just because you're afraid of the threat of a PIP. There is more to life than work.
Auditing is mind numbing. Have no idea how people do it honestly.

Men can marry rich too
If you hate audit and have been in audit 2 years or less try industry.
