@Zpe - I too work in a very similar field and I know first hand how the interview may not match up to the actual work you do. And that is not paranoia you are feeling - don't let people make you think you're being "crazy" etc - we just have a 6th sense where we can pick up on the vibes from the office politics a lot quicker. And let's face it - especially in Accounting where it's female dominated - you're going to have deal with jealousy, attitude, cross-cultural miscommunications, nepotism, along with the usual power struggle issues. That's a WHOLE lot to deal with 10-12 hours a day (and yes they expect you to LIVE there in that horrid environment). I've had to quit jobs for the same reason with relatives not understanding my decision but I picked myself right back up and got myself back in the field using what I learned from my last position. Don't let them run you over!! Be strong!!
