Dear Sir,
I am writing because I may need another job. I may need another job not because accountant’s job is out of fashion.
I may need another job precisely because the living conditions are doing worse than ever, market conditions have climbed to a new high and there is a greater need for money with every passing day. The reason why I wish to quit, or let me replace this with a higher responsibility job is that ‘I need to convince my society, is that I am passing through a critical ethical challenge.
I succeeded over the years because I studied hard with a clear definition of value: If something was above the values then it was considered safe to work.
My success was based on the ability to narrow my decision to a specific kind of company available at a nascent point in its growth phase then I received my CMA and ACCA.
Something happened in the third quarter of the last financial year that transformed everything.
If I had been an investment manager, I could have selected to stay in cash validated by experience and logic; because I am an MF executive with a mandate to immediately invest in equities, my job is to invest regardless of valuations.
These then are my challenges: employment is cheap; I need to start at levels I am not comfortable with; I need to 'create' a rationale about some ideas I want to convince my people that I have no clue about the prospective business that I am going to start are based on a nebulous understanding of the future; on most occasions the profits we project do not materialise.
The result is that even as much of my work appears to be brilliant in a aviationl market, the reality is that I have done little except to stay put on the ship, which is the basis for more money to come in, making the well-process increasingly expensive, which yet again makes my work appear perpetually outstanding.
I am waiting for my annual bonus after bonus whereas the real 'hero' outperformance unprecedented quantities of my certificates.
My training dictates that I cash my certificates; the money I spend is that I stay invested and create bigger stories that bring in more cash in my career.
I can't exit my current job, then it might be better to exit the game itself.
I thought I would tell you what's going through my mind.
Yours Obediently.
