As someone that switched into deal advisory, there is not amount of money that would convince me to look at internal controls again lol

I have yet to work intern controls. Is deals advisory challenging? How is it

I always thought the crap co-workers/managers, toxic firm culture, and being treated as sub-human were the worst parts of audit.

Good to hear! I always found quarterly reviews and yearend analytics the most interesting as you could start to see the bigger picture (really understand the business and micro/macro factors that impact the business). As a staff and senior (especially on very large clients) it’s easy to get trapped in the mindset that what you do doesn’t matter or is boring as you are so deep in one or two processes, the walkthrough and the controls. Way easier to see the big picture on small jobs.

Your mindset is also what make a good M&A advisor. Like the way you think

Audit sucks

That’s what she said

You’re a staff. It gets boring

I think that must be true. After a few years in I’d probably think it’s not challenging but so far it is.
