Could anyone kindly tell me about the Investment Management and Private Equity Audit Group at Deloitte? 1. Work Life Balance (Is it worst than the ordinary Big 4 WLB?) 2. Is it an entirely different audit from commercial/retail audits (think account balances etc.) 3. Difficult to learn how to audit clients in this industry without prior experience in the industry?(been doing commercial audits for 3 years) 4. Are there relatively good exit opportunities for this audit group? Deloitte PwC EY

Can’t speak to Deloitte. But my take.

Pros

def better exit opportunities for $$$. Learning curve steep initially, but not overcome-able if willing to put in work and are bright. Work life balance is definitely worse during peak periods and much better off peak (obviously that is a generalisation as it would be client schedule dependent).

Cons

If you thought a commercial/retail audit was boring—just wait.

Also a generalisation, but in my view (as compared to commercial registrant audit)—much less experience, maturity at finance/accounting/back office side.

I’ve been interviewing at 2 companies & I got an offer today from 1 & I have an interview with the other on Friday. I think the 2nd company will have higher pay & it’s a better role. I want to keep both options open but I know that the 1st company is trying to get someone started quickly & I don’t want to lose the offer just in case the other falls through. Would it be ok to ask the 2nd company to move my interview up or should I just leave it & hold on accepting the 1st offer?

I can’t tell you how much damage this is doing to the agency.
Any good advice?
