How is private IT auditing? I don’t mind IT audit at big 4, but I’m worried industry won’t be for me

I’m bored. Been doing the same shit on repeat for 3 years now. I have these key reports memorized at this point. I can do this audit blind folded at this point. However I work 9am-5pm daily and I log off at 3pm Fridays. This is the best work life balance and best shape I’ve ever been in. All my free time is spent at the gym. Probably time for me to get a dog or something.

You mean working with private clients or working in internal audit at a public company? Do you not currently have client contacts in this role? I think it’s generally monotonous

It can be a great career path for some people. I went the Big 4 route and have been very satisfied with the experience. However, I understand that industry IT auditing may not be the right fit for everyone.

I’m getting put up for manager a year early. I have PPMD ,SM, and M support. Pretty much support from all the key individuals on my team and in my service line. Since it is a year early if i don’t get promoted this round I know it’ll come mid year but I do expect a good salary increase still without the promo. If I don’t get the promo nor a salary increase that I’m okay with, how do I let my partner know that I will begin to entertain outside offers? some of which have offered the manager role.
