Were there any penalties for changing jobs part qualified and, if so, was the move worth it? Yes, there were penalties with moving firms half way through training, I had to repay all training costs incurred, all travel costs, annual subscriptions etc.

I knew that, had I stayed longer, this cost would only increase so I decided to leave before it got to a point where it would be physically impossible to leave due to the costs. What benefits would you say you gained from changing firms half way through? I think it is always good to see how similar businesses work and the difference in practices, so I believe this will only help to open my eyes to potential problems or issues that may arise in the future. I learnt the basics in my first practice role and am now able to implement what I learnt to my work here but at a higher standard.

What one piece of advice would you give to people looking to embark on a career in accountancy? Keep studying and get qualified as soon as possible — the hard work will pay off in the end!
