Exited B4 IT Audit 4 years ago for IT strategy. I’m a parent now and consulting is no longer for me - I need better wlb & would prefer to spend my extra time with my family. Am I crazy for considering industry internal audit? I plan to apply for jobs within my current domain, however internal audit seems more stable and chill.

It’s chill especially if you join an IA shop that doesn’t do SOX

I did it years ago and quit out of boredom. Now that I am also a parent, it looks a lot better than it did at the time

Internal audit could be ok, but just a note general accounting position like senior associate or assistant controller at a private company would probably be better for your goals

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

For those who moved from a client serving role to an internal role in public accounting while at a fairly high level (experienced manager or senior manager), did you take a pay cut or does your pay stay flat when you transition with minimal increases in subsequent years? Also what role are you in now? I really like EY and the company. I’d like to look at moving to an internal role but I’m worried I’ve priced myself out (currently at around 140k comp in LCOL).
