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.
