What makes more money IT Audit or IT GRC?
Hello - hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm looking into risk assurance opportunities at Meta, especially Application Manager, Controls (min 5 YOE) and Manager, Compliance (min 12 YOE). I am a Senior Manager with 9 years of IT risks assurance experience. Does anyone have any thought on which position I should apply? If anyone currently at Meta could share your experience, that would also help. If anyone is open to providing referrals, I could provide my background. Facebook (Meta)

Have an honest level set expectations conversation. I’m someone who hates uncertainties in a working relationship I’d rather a blunt private conversation then missing phrases in feedback.
Hi, wanted to set up some time. I recognize busy season is here and xyz fell off my plate this week, but I wanted you to know I acknowledge and see the places where I can improve and just want to be able to openly and honestly communicate about where I might need support etc. and to call out that I know when I am missing pieces and it impacts items but wanted you to also know what is and is not on my plate in case there was any confusion
Honestly, the biggest thing to do to is be proactive in communicating where things are so that they can redirect their direction to something else as the issue to resolve instead of you. Then it gives them a reason not to think you are the issue once they are communicated the real issue and know the current plan for resolution is on another teams plate.
Taking this from working with internal audit teams that use to constantly blame our team for issues that were really them, but they used our team members as scapegoats. This kept happening until we started being proactive in communicating the status, what are the issues, and that we're not the bottleneck in those issues to get them resolved... thus giving them no reason to see us as the issue.
Agree with above. Communication is key. Being a leader means you take accountability for the team, even if they are responsible. Avoid calling individuals out if you can, acknowledge the issues up front and let her know what you’re doing to better the situation. I speak almost every day with my partner about the challenges and what the team is doing to address them. He doesn’t want me involved in every task, so he knows I am not responsible for all of the mistakes/challenges going on. Better you tell her first than the client.
Yes! It's been a crazy week for us. Make sure to document your work so that you have proof to support your claim if ever everything goes south. Good luck!
I know right? I've never been this exhausted. I'm not questioning my life decisions. Lol
