Am I better off leaving audit for TAS, or for industry? What are pros of TAS?

The biggest pro of TAS is that you get to pretend you work in finance while you consolidate a million rows of standard cost data at 2am.

That and when people ask if you like your job you can say “well it’s better than audit heheh….. “

Why do you want to leave audit in the first place?

Lol- I was asking to see what the drivers of them leaving are. Like what’s the end goal they are trying to reach (worded poorly).

Depends on what you want to do and what the industry position is.

TAS is definitely more interesting than Audit and gets better as you move up (from the perspective of data crunching).

Hours are terrible, take that for what you will, but I’d kill for audit hours over TAS… predictable.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
