How hard is it to transition to a Senior role in External Audit from Internal Audit? I imagine the biggest obstacle is understanding substantive testing, but not sure whether that would be hard to learn on the job.

Are you talking about the internal audit service line in a PA firm? Or internal audit in industry?

Making that switch from the former is possible, but you will start out out just doing controls. It's ironic, because you're trying to leave IA so you can do non-controls work. So you go into audit. But then they only give you controls work to do because that's your background lol. But if you can overcome that part at first, you'll learn eventually if you're willing to go through the learning pains. And your exit ops won't be limited to just IA anymore.

I was in the IA service line a few years and considered a switch to audit or FDD. Turned down an FDD offer and ended up in FP&A instead.

This is what I meant. Thank you!

I did basically that.
Worked my ass off during the ‘chill’ summer months to catch up, was fine. I wasn’t on a first year audit engagement so I studied required audit procedures before busy season so I know what tasks need to be completed and how.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
