Can anyone who has some longer experience with Internal Audit weigh in? I recently applied to an internal audit staff position for a manufacturer after a recruiter reached out to me about it. It looks like a good move in the immediate, but with only 1 year of experience in public, I'm worried it might be worse long term, particularly when it comes to earning potential. Am I right with this assumption? I would love any insights people are willing to offer, thanks.

Why are you looking to leave public? What are your long term goals?

The positives would be the pay bump and bonus, and a much better WLB, and according to the recruiter there is an intended track to senior along with opportunity to shift to other teams or functions within the org if I wish to pursue that and it's a good fit, but that feels ambiguous to me so it makes me apprehensive and leaning towards staying in public for a few more years and building my skillset and resume until a better point to exit
