I didn’t go audit, I did FDD to IB p much. FDD was from college. I think it’s better but the hours really fucking suck and I’m desperately looking to leave. Yes I have money but I don’t care anymore for it

What are your hours like most of the year?

I went from Audit to Internal Audit to FP&A in a G100 company. For Internal Audit, you have to be careful about the role. I did operational audits that mainly focused on office audits. I made it clear to my IA manager that I wanted to focus on operational audits within the Finance department. My career progressed from Big 4 to Internal Audit to FP&A Manager with a $140k base, and I’m currently on the director path. The work involved mostly compliance and efficiency testing, but I heavily networked with the finance team and learned FP&A operations. I’ve seen others on my team transition into supply chain or other operational functions. Internal Audit isn’t the most straightforward path, but it can be rewarding, just avoid roles that only focus on SOX controls. Left Deloitte really early like 1.5 years.
