Benefits: Better wlb, better pay, not having to deal with clients who could care less about an audit, truly understand a company as you get to work with people all across the business

Challenges: you get to work with people on your team that don’t have a background in PA, which I found challenging at times (they don’t necessarily see/understand the broader picture of their work)
