As someone who moved from M&A to audit, how do I get interviewers to stop asking me in depth IB questions? I'm just looking for a standard commercial audit exit role with WLB man, I don't wanna go memorise all the little 500 IB interview questions

I thought the exit was usually from audit -->M&A.

Definitely not a common path, I just wanted the WLB and low stakes low stress and routine life. Also am deathly allergic to alcohol 🙃
