How hard is it to transition from forensics into Internal Audit? I’ve been applying to IA positions and SOX analyst positions but no luck. Not coming from B4, just small practice. Is it a common exit? Would it help to get the CIA? Don’t have my CPA.

Yeah I feel like that’s a pretty common exit. Might be the experience and lack of cpa holding you back unfortunately

Currently working on a three person team in a larger GC group. I lateraled from a different group that did not pay attorneys on an attorney scale. I’m stuck in my old pay scale but have gotten promotions and raises quickly with more on the horizon. A recruiter reached out with a new role for 2-2.5x more than I currently make doing something similar. I love my company and the people I work with but the money isn’t there. Is it worth trying to get a counter to stay if I get the bigger offer?

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team.

I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?
