Has anybody left after a couple of senior years to move into internal audit? I’m interested in making the move in a couple of years (about to be promoted to senior) and have some experience with internal audit from preparing SOC 1 type 2 audits, but was just wondering if anyone had advice about how to prepare/designations to pursue (other than CIA), or what to expect from the position. I’ve never wanted to be in public, but am only sticking around for the experience and career advancement after.

Not as Senior but I left as SM to go into IA. I recruit Associate/Senior/Manager equivalent; a designation is not a must. It would be helpful to have either the CPA or CIA, though a lot of people don’t. In most instances, wherever you will apply you’ll apply for a speciality, or you’ll be asked which specialty you prefer (ie Markets, Technology, CFR etc)… have some considerations around what you want to do as it will effectively set you up for the rest of your career (not saying it’s hard to move around, but you more naturally would either promote through the ranks in IA or end up integrating into the business that you’re working in).
Internal Audit is growing and in my opinion it’s becoming more of a focus and getting a lot more investment, which opens opportunities.

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Is this okay?

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.
