Can anyone here share what they like about their job? I know internal audit/risk advisory gets a bad rep on other bowls, but I really want to hear some positives. I am considering a switch from external audit and want to see if this would be a good fit for me

I made a similar transition on the IT side. The benefits I saw over external audit was the higher pay and better worklife balance.

I'm at 160k base with a 20% bonus target five years out of college thanks to IT risk/audit. The money's there and the wlb is better, and the topics are just more interesting if you like tech.

I made the switch from external audit/SOC attestation to internal audit/risk advisory and it’s much better. I’m learning a lot more, better WLB, and no busy season.

At KPMG yes. External Audit and SOC attest is under Audit

Anyone else awake, and reflecting on everything that has happened in the last 90 days? And feeling it’s surreal (it’s very real) or fleeting (it’s here to stay for a long while), or there’s a complete and utter lack of elected leadership on all sides (yup!)? Hang in there, for we know history shows us we have overcome a lot before us, and we will prevail in these times too, even though most of us may have never seen such times in our lifetime.

Currently a first year staff in Risk Advisory in a Mid-Tier Firm hoping to move to Big 4 for either Risk or Cyber. When would be the most appropriate time to make the change? I heard that Senior Staff in mid-tier would most likely be hired as an “Experienced Hire” in Big 4. So would it be smarter to make the move now as a first year staff since I’ll be considered Experienced Hire anyway?
