Technical Manager of Professional Practice
I prepare comment letters on proposals issued by the PCAOB and SEC and develop technical content for publications.
I start my days looking at the news for about 30 minutes to an hour...my job requires I keep current on legislative and rule making affairs by many different bodies. The rest of the day is spent thinking, working collaboratively, and writing. Once the work on a publication or letter is done, there are many days that I am out meeting with the public at conferences or presenting content at meetings with the top minds in the profession.
Here's the first step for everyone
Start slow...I was 29, married, carrying a mortgage. There is no rush, wade into it comfortably. Retaining your lessons learned are the key to future autonomy.
