Not bad in erp risk advisory. No busy season for us. You have some crunch times around key project deliverables but even then I don’t think I’ve ever done more than 50hr weeks

It’s not a bad place if you want to stick with it but exit opps not as good as external audit. I exited after 6 years but came back a couple years later

Don’t do it. I want to find a private role. Been doing internal audit at a public accounting firm for 5 years and hate everything about it

Internal audit is even worse than external audit?

Internal audit at a public firm is a mistake. Less exit opportunities and actual accounting skills for us than you assurance folks have.

So true. And if the market sucks, you would never get promoted, not like external audit…
