Any suggestions? Getting a little burnt out with internal audit work (SOX control testing) and thinking to pivot into a new field (not finance/accounting/audit, maybe something like operations?).
What are some important transferrable skills and potential roles I should look into? If I pivot, do I just start from scratch i.e. entry level positions?

Define 'operations'? Are you thinking of becoming a forklift operator? That might actually be quite fun.

Marked helpful... But guess forklift operator isn't for me- too comfortable with a white collar job now that I'd rather burnout instead of having occupational hazards like getting decapitated or hands sawed off or pierced by a forklift and then nothing physical left to burnout.

Operations is a hybrid of accounting and/or finance, unless of course your an engineer actually rolling up the sleeves.

My understanding is that accounting and finance is/can be under operations. I am data driven and love working with numbers that I wouldn't mind doing such for a job, but don't think I would want to be a revenue accountant or GL accountant. I'm guessing finance is broader than I give it credit for- what do you have in mind when defining finance?

Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
