Careers after IT Audit? Been working at Big 4 for 3 years in FAIT and looking for a change. Work is uninteresting, value isn't there, and want to explore a path that has more opportunities and $. Does anyone have suggestions or experience in changing careers after IT Audit into something non-audit? What did you gain, what did you lose? I'm looking to go more consulting/finance/other areas of business. Want to make the most of my value as a senior and make an exit...

More money is tough, because IT audit actually pays very well. Unless you pivot, it kind of caps out at the Director level in industry which is still going to pay you 200k+.

If you want to go down the finance route, your IT audit experience won’t help at all, so just apply to any finance role and try to use name recognition.

As for consulting / non audit type roles where your experience applies, look for GRC or compliance manager type roles. Those have very good growth potential especially with all the growing regulations on data security. My old manager transitioned out of big 4 IT Audit many years ago into GRC in industry, and now has a CISO position at a large company. 0 clue how much he makes but according to Google, based on the size of the company I’m guessing at least 500k.
