Not the same as your question but just want to say I transitioned from external audit to valuations and it is the best decision ever

How did you make this transition.? Did you get any certifications

Tbh, that’s everyone in audit, not just you. It’s difficult. The workload, constantly doing new things, and having to keep everything else up is hard. What specifically have you been having an issue with?

Hi, I am currently working at Bisleri in a quality control role with 6 YOE. My current CTC is very low (4 LPA) and I have not found any motivation or growth in my role since COVID. I'd like to be in the design industry (Graphic Design or UI UI Design). Currently I am freelancing in my spare time. My question to Design professionals is: how feasible will the switch be? Will I be accepted as an intern/junior designer in my early 30s?
