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
