Probably, considering the remit of a Security Analyst would or should also involve user access management. A DR analyst might be stronger when it comes to technical infrastructure knowledge though so presumably not too far off each other

Thank you! I feel like I’m not getting any technical experience in Audit so am looking for a change.

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...

I have no programming experience, but it just seems way more glamorous than supply chain consulting. Curious what your guys thoughts are/if anyone has made a similar jump.
