Exit opportunity from audit

I am a third year audit associate and recently exam qualified with ACA, with plenty of experience in AWM audit and some in insurance and financing. What are the common exit opportunity for people leaving audit and what are the uncommon ones? Just trying to explore my chances out there, and couldn't see a future with audit at all. I have received pretty good feedback for my work and also some D&I Stuff I did along my main job, but not sure how helpful that would be

Tbh audit has a lot of transferrable skills and u can move on and do anything after. U can transfer to any department in PwC if u really wanted to. I think the questions to ask is (which i also thought about when i left)
1. Do u want to stay within AWM and insurance area or run as far from those ? U can leverage what u know to move across to roles needing that knowledge. If not, is there a particular sector you might be interested in or what to join a team which is sector agnostic? If u want to join a team like doing Energy it is not impossible, you just need to do a lot a lot of personal upskilling.
2. I think to ask yourself what is important to you, money? Work life balance? If money, there are the more obvious choices like roles in finance and tech? Do u want to log of at 5pm and not work till 2 3 am in the morning, perhaps IB, M&A, and certain consulting roles are not suitable. A friend of mine wanted wlb hence moved to in house finance and they have a more predictable work pattern whereas I moved to advisory (finance) and wlb was bottom of my list and work super long hours.
3. The question to ask if u want to remain accounting related or move on to something with a different skillset? Like what is it you want to learn? What is ur bigger picture?
4. Another question for me was do I want to bring revenue in or be a cost centre? I wanted to be client facing and bring in revenue. If you don't want, u can join like finance department, compliance, ops role etc

Hi. I’m in need of advice and encouragement. I’m currently working as a public defender(2nd year) but I would love to pursue a solo private practice. I would like to leave the public defender because I am ready to make more money and I am no longer feeling the fulfillment I once felt. I have a family and work-life balance is a priority. What is a good way to gain experience in other areas of law as a solo practitioner? What areas of law are best for maintaining a work-life balance?
