God I do not ever want to do another busy season again. I see why they lie to every single person that joins IT Audit out of college. Absolutely abysmal experience.

Trust me, it varies project to project. They're not all that bad.

Every one of my co workers has been working 60/70 hours a week for months now… seems like every project is the same here. Not much actual consulting all external audits

How many years have you been working? You'll get used to it. People say that every year. But it's not always the same thing. Just like the previous comment says, it varies from one project to another.

If you cannot find your purpose you can leave. I wish you the best in your next journey and I hope you find the best job and company for you.

What do you think you'll do when you leave the field?
