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…

Online info is not that descriptive. Also, is the 80-100 percent travel really true or is a bit less?

And I was the only one from PwC. I’m having meetings with these particular clients only in the context of my current control. One of them had been rude to me on a previous call and was quite passive aggressive on emails to me. But I ignored those instances and kept communications with him to a minimum. Contd..

So to everyone staying in the newly rebranded DAT, I'm curious what you think our long-term exit ops will looks like.

I'd like to still think there's opportunities outside of just IT Audit waiting for me but have my doubts.
