Got an offer from a regional bank for an internal audit position. Would be about a 23% pay increase. Benefits are very comparable to EY with the exception of vacation which is 18 days (still not bad to me). What are some other things to consider as far as making the jump to industry? I know the progression isn't as good and name isn't as recognized. Anyone have success stories making a jump to a smaller company? Anyone done something similar and had regrets?

From what I've heard: internal audit is pretty much a dead end, but it is well paying and not intensive most of the time.

like

I wouldn’t say dead end but might be hard to jump from that IA gig to let’s say a controller position down the line. That being said, you can hit $200K and have great work life balance, not a ton of stress etc. Don’t listen to all the IA hate here but definitely do research and understand what you want from your next move.

Internal Audit - yuck. I started in IA my first 2 years out of school. Then joined PwC as a first year almost 36 years ago. Best move of my life. Retiring as a partner in June without a care in the world. Please think this through before finalizing your decision.

I lateraled from a small firm to regional big law last year. I was told that my offer was commensurate with class year (5th year). The firm recently increased first year salary, with a 5% increase for all other attorneys. My original salary was equal to the new first year salary. The difference between my new salary and a first year is now $10k. I think it is fairly obvious that the hiring partner was not truthful with me. How would you address this? Is another lateral move my only option?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
