Audit really isn't where I want to be. I thought it would be a good fit, but I can't tell if I'm trying to help my clients or catch them out, among other things.

I'm an older A1; went back to school in my late 20's. I have prior experience as a business analyst for a supply chain company that has since gone under and I liked that job a lot. Think I can find another one after busy season?

I really think it’s just the nature of the work and environment
It’s why this is such a solid stamp on the resume

U are doing both. Its a weird job but actually not that much different from other jobs like consultanting actually. When changing jobs, I have spoken to performanc improvement consultants who come in to improve issues. They first need to find out what is wrong, write a report on what is wrong then provide recommendations. Do you think people are happy with these consultants all the time? Sometimes its the private equity who hires these consultants for their Portfolio companies, management are not happy people are poking around. Sometimes these recommendations get implemented but dont stay...

If u realise audit its not right for you, u can easily find something after! Audit honestly give u a lot of soft skills u can take into other jobs

I’ve interviewed for several positions AVP and VP roles since October of ‘21 internally with Citi. Didn’t take any of them because it would have been only $8k - $11k salary bumps. For double or even triple the work. So I’m leaving to go from $70k to $235k in September at a competing firm for a VP level role. The moral of the story: hop if you need to. No reason to stick around for low pay and not being compensated fairly by the company that expects “loyalty” from you.

I joined pwc last month, and absolutely hating it here. Each weekend has been working, 12-15 hours work day is minimum expectation. And there's extreme hierarchy, where even after you spend 24 hours working on something, the director decides he wants something completely different and you delete and restart. (Note that you request them to review and give their pov earlier on, but they never take the time out)

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.
