Career path for internal audit? I work in advisory (mostly internal audit work) and should be promoted to manager this year. Which is nice except that I HATE the sales aspect of public accounting....

...which means I should probably be looking to leave soon. Anybody know anybody who left with mostly internal audit experience and went on to have a nice career?

Hard to be successful without sales. Try challenging yourself, you might be surprised

Sales is great, unless you're introverted. Literally half my job at this point seems to be to wine and dine potential clients. I meet some interesting people, have some good food, and great booze. Loving it.

Yes, you can have a solid career. Get the manager promotion and find a good industry job—a manager position in internal audit or an assistant controller role

Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?

Anyone else tired of the assumption that because you’re a partner you have to think a certain way and believe certain things. I’m talking about wokeness, work from home, and the recent ever constant pushing of the needle to the left or risk getting “cancelled”. I’m fairly liberal politically so for me to be saying this I think may say something for the current climate. I should be able to hold and express my own opinions without being quashed because I’m not “woke” enough.
