Exit Opportunities as an Accountant in Tax

So pretty much the title, I have been working as an accountant in the tax department for over 2 years now and I just don't find it interesting anymore.

I am looking for a change but I am not sure which industry I can go for, especially since my country doesn't have a very developed financial sector. I wouldn't mind leaving but I am not sure on where to start

I thought about pursuing a masters next year in western Europe if I can't land anything until then here, then try and recruit there

Here are my stats for a more complete picture or myself.

Age : 25

Region : Southeastern Europe

Education : UG in Economics

Experience : 2 years in tax, no big 4 but my current employer is a pretty well known accounting firm in my country. My position is that of Senior Accountant and I am responsible for ~30 companies as of now

ACCA : Started it some time ago because why not, still working on it

Any advice or guidance would be highly appreciated!
