Anyone work for an internal audit job in industry where WLB is great and company is fun? Been in big 4 for 3 years and looking to jump next year. I am tired of my 6 months busy season.

It is fun, wlb is better. But be prepared you will lose a lot of perks and benefits.

like

Cost cutting is everywhere but in corporate they get super stingy.
Perks I missed: organized trainings (I now have to look for CPE opportunities yo maintain my cpa), unlimited PTO (only 15 days for first 5 years), 16 weeks maternity/paternity leave (8 weeks at my current company), technology (basic shit like acrobat pro needs approval for a license)

Are you trying to get out of consulting as a whole or just a better overall WLB? My company is still risk advisory consulting but a million times better WLB than Big 4

Based on my experience, WLB is better overall in industry as a whole but there are a few exceptions. In terms of “fun” I would recommend an industry that is not Financial Services, worked in a bank after public and it was not fun, more of a serious tone as you would probably expect. Switched industries recently and I will say people are more relaxed and fun overall

Yup. I switched from FSO to commercial because financial service clients were too uptight. Love commercial way more
