Glad I’m not alone with this. I thought there was a chance I could do more work with Python and R but that is far from the case

Get the heck out of IT audit. B4 dupe tons of people to IT audit by calling it part of consulting/advisory.

network with the data analytics practice within your firm and offer to lend a hand on any projects. plug yourself into groups and organizations within the firm and try to utilize data analytics in any capacity with potential events, small pro Bono projects, etc to build experience

With that background should be very doable. Also maybe try the data analytics groups within the firms' M&A practices.

We are hiring people like you @ ey!

Not to piggy back but what would be a good industry job to look at with these credentials? Getting pushed into more and more IT Audit projects despite that not being my role so I’m thinking of leaving consulting altogether

Learn some Python for data manipulation (pandas); that’s the natural “next step” that could differentiate your CV.

Finish udacity data scientist nano degree will help

What EY2 said. Not sure which B4, DM me if you want out. I’m hiring

I started my career in IT Audit and now I am a full time analytics lead. Key starting point for me was incorporating more analytics into my audit / risk projects, starting with SAP and Oracle analytics to identify control and risk issues (eg segregation of duties).

Perhaps find a way to incorporate analytics into your current role to build up experience.

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!
