Hey. Recently let go and have been targeting IT audit positions. Was at Deloitte for 2 years, post graduating grad school with a Masters in Information Systems. In the meantime have been studying for CISA. What other skills should I be focusing on to be most competitive?

Sorry to hear that & hope all’s okay.
I think for now get a CISA as it helps get shortlisted, tailor your CV to the job role & demonstrate your knowledge of IT.

Some cyber knowledge can definitely help, but may take time to secure. Try some entry level certs.

Getting into IT audits at Big 4 might not be too difficult, ask for referrals.

I'm an investment banker and in late stages of a couple CorpDev roles of Fortune 200 companies. Both roles report to Head of CorpDev.

Is it more common to progress through jumping around to different companies?

I have a period of time (~2 years) where I worked multiple part time jobs. One job was with a FAANG so that’s easy to put on my resume. But the others included a couple non profits (mainly digital marketing), then multiple contracts with clients doing things like business development, APIs, websites, etc. How can I combine these “side gigs” under a single title/experience? Business Consultant? Say I ran a consulting agency? Business Dev Engineer? I’m lost. I don’t want to embellish or undermine.

Probably a long shot but does anyone here happen to work in the front office (operations) of a pro sports team? I’m gonna assume that most ex-consultants that pivoted went into the business side.
