There are some people in this bowl that have switched to tech strategy, cyber etc. I would say the most common transition out of risk is cyber due to overlap in skills and possibly cause you do some cyber work in risk (depending on firm/team) other than that it’s it risk in industry.

Yeah it can happen, with developing outside knowledge. No IT audit is jumping into cyber strat solely with the knowledge of testing the same ITGCs for a few years in a row….

Sure you'll still be in risk in industry but you'll be taking screenshots for 40 hours a week (maybe) instead of 55+ hrs per week

Risk Assurance -> industry IT audit -> staff accountant

The CPA got my foot in the door for the staff accountant role. Also, had to take a pay decrease for it but I am making more than I was before now

why you switch from risk to accountant?

You can always move to another LOS that’s not risk assurance. I moved to FAAS.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
