Hello I have been thinking about switching to PWC and was wondering how you like working within IT audit ?? Also how many days of PTO do they usually offer and any other nice bonuses? Do they shut down like KPMG does for Christmas?

Blows my mind why anyone would willingly go into IT audit... still have nightmares of taking screeenshots there lol

No for sure I actually switched offices and it was a real pain in my ass. There’s definitely a push for me to be IT audit but LA seems to care more about me than the other office. 6 people have reached out concerned about me not rotating at all 7 months in.

OP- if you’re thinking about PwC, there was a recent split that is different from KPMG where the DAT group mentioned above does external audit support virtually exclusively. If you’re looking for a broader spectrum of work than that, I’d recommend looking at cyber risk & reg. It’s the internal audit arm of the firm under the consulting umbrella. There is a lot of IT controls work. IMO, the work is more interesting, it’s very busy albeit with no defined busy season & the team is paid more than DAT

thx I already have so much to learn 😮‍💨

The Digital Assurance and Transparency which includes IT audit has been rough but all the firms are struggling there. You get 15-22 days of vacation depending on level and time with PwC. Also typically everyone takes off Christmas even though it isn’t all holiday time.

We also get 2 weeks or a little more, I don’t remember, of holiday time on top of vacation.

Hi All!
This is my first post in Fishbowl, I'm looking for some genuine guidance on below query.

I have a total of 8.1 yrs of development experience in Java, Bigdata and Hadoop (new to it).
I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks
