Exploring the idea of moving from external to internal audit. The thought of helping companies improve their operations seems more rewarding than auditing financials. Has anyone else considered this?

The thought of testing controls as part of my daily job year round also gives me nightmares.

like

The thought of doing walkthroughs in addition to testing controls every day sounds horrible. Nightmares can't even begin to describe that life choice.

I moved from external audit at EY to internal audit at PwC. A normal day at external audit is equal to a day in busy season at internal audit. I agree that control testing and walkthroughs continue all year round. But its much better than external audit

@EY1 & EY2...couldn't agree more 🙌🏼

I did this after 3 years on the external audit side and focus on non-public internal audit clients- limited controls testing and walkthroughs, have gotten to work with some really interesting people, and clients really value your opinion and are constantly seeking our advice. Have been in this role for 3 years now and don't regret it for a second. I for sure wouldn't still be at PwC had I not made this transition. Talk to HR, see if you can get on an internal audit short term engagement as one of your jobs and see how you like it.

It took some time. I wanted to wrap up all of my jobs on external before transferring over, and I'm sure you know how those can drag. But once I said by February 1st I want a complete transfer things moved fast.

The problem is internal audit is still growing. But you can still talk to your coach and HR so that you can at least be queued up

Career dev advice needed. Being offered a promotion (would be reporting to my current skip and managing/growing a team). The role is global subsidiary management/governance. But the work does not appeal to me, I’ve been doing some of it and it’s so much admin and people management. I’m not practicing law at all. Love my current IC role and manager, get to work on strategic transactions and closer to the business. If my goal is head of corp legal one day, should I suck it up and go for it? Thnx!

I am trying to figure out how to switch to SWE. I have a masters in civil engineering and have a good background in higher level math. It looks like the better coding boot camps are quite expensive. The alternative is another masters in CS which is the same cost as many boot camps. Any recommendations on picking between a coding boot camp and getting another masters degree in CS? I’m looking to get into the best position possible after getting an education in CS (get a job quick and good pay).

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
