A lot more technical so if you don't have a ton of experience writing memos and applying guidance than you might struggle. The operational accounting stuff can be difficult for those who don't truly understand certain things because there is no PY to SALY. You are usually building things from scratch to solve issues the company has never previously had to deal with or just never addressed before.

I much prefer advisory but it requires a lot more thought and has a lot less check the box type stuff.

Is Accounting Advisory involved in designing workbooks to create JEs? For example, if you're doing rev rec work, are you just doing the memos or also setting up the calculations/excel model to make sure it's implemented correctly and efficiently?

Very transferable experience

It’s a lot more stress for not that much more pay once you hit manager and above.

MAS1 You are correct I pivoted out into in internal role. 1st day on the job I had to reconcile the entire year. From scratch via a highly manual process with absolutely no saly. Thank you when I was in audit I was stabbed on complex clients.
