A recruiter reached out recently about a role in an advisory firm, and I think it sounds interesting. I’m currently in audit and have been looking for a change. Anyone exit from audit to advisory? What was your experience like? Did you have better work life balance? (Obviously I know experiences will vary depending on person, companies, projects, etc.)

Nah, audit is the best!

Be very careful about what they mean by advisory - it’s very vague. For example, IPO prep is “advisory”, but not sure that is what you’re looking for.

Be sure to research what you’re looking for and what the job entails.

IPO prep is top tier in AAS land. Half the time others in advisory are stuck as staff augmentation or a managed service of lease implementations, etc.

Depends on what type of advisory but generally most types of advisory are far better than audit

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
