Hey fishes,
Im facing a dilemma. I have two offers in hand:
1. PwC (offshore model) - Risk advisory (IT audit)
2. Goldman Sachs - Internal Audit (Securities Tech).
Both jobs are offering me almost the same overall compensation and benefits. I have around 2.5 years of experience in the field at a B4 firm. Is this a good time to switch to industry?
Please help me choose between the both. TIA.

GS - Internal audit, better WLB and pay but not sure on progression…

How is the culture typically at GS? The one in my city does not have a good reputation and low retention.

Definitely GS. You can get your foot in the door and possibly rotate into something more interesting a few years in.

IT audit is really boring and the hours (in my experience) have been worse than core assurance.

Thanks for your inputs. The WLB is shite all over the Big4. Will try to switch to product firms later on.

What are your longer term goals? If compensation and benefits are the same, think it really comes down to what you want to do long term and which of those options can help you get there.

In that case, GS it is

I joined a new team and have noticed something off with my Director over the last months (slurring speech, no show to calls or even full days of work). I finally asked a colleague about it today because I’m concerned about my Director. She confirmed that she’s noticed the same over the last few years, but no one ever says anything. In confidence she told me she can often smell alcohol. How can I help? I feel helpless. I’ve already lost someone to addiction and I can’t ignore this. Any advice?
