As A person with IT background, I was so shocked when I noticed IT audiy job is mostly taking screen shots and 70% of your time is documenting and chasing clients. The fun part which is testing to me is just a tiny part of IT audit, the rest is putting pieces together and copy paste and follow specific wording/verbiage.
Personally I need to go back my data and analytics background.
No matter what I do, I don't have the same drive as before. It faded out as soon as I experienced my first burnt out from the job. I am actually planning to make a transition and I just don't where I'd get from here.
Same position as well. I’m done with the consulting lifestyle of “busy season”. Moving to industry hopefully.
As in more exciting projects or clients? Clients that keep pushing services out before they are really ready are excitement enough.
I’m at year 3.5/4 & feel the same
I started approaching it from the perspective of “If I wanted to pivot into something else, what would that be and what kind of skills would I need to get there?” That’s led me to focusing on cloud security/audit, as well as exploring vulnerability assessments and penetration testing. I’ve even added additional audit credentials like ISO certs. IT audit can be so broad that it helps to specialize and have that niche you are into and known for. You can land in other compliance-related positions or you could end up more technical. It all depends on what you enjoy in this field.
Some kind of automation...tbh auditing is never gonna be exciting or whatever but it can be pretty rewarding overall. Clients can be kinda annoying though lol
