Can’t imagine why you’d want to do that

I know a few people who did that. They always say the pace at internal audit is too slow, however in my opinion the real reason is Manager & beyond you have a small world of your own - your projects , your team, your way of running things, however once you go to internal audits , that’s sometimes not the case. So they come back !

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?
