When I practiced law, I used to look forward to tax season. It was the one time of the year where I felt like accountants had it worse than lawyers. Which got me to thinking — which career is worse: lawyers or accountants? Which will disappear sooner? Who’s more boring? My co-founder, Ari Gold (the head of product, not the fictional Hollywood super-agent) used to be an accountant (which made him miserable), so I thought I would get his expert opinion. If you’ve got any good evidence or anecdotal war stories, speak up in the comments sections and let us know what you think.
