On big public jobs I find the auditors are really good at doing one very specific thing that's been done the same way for 10 year.

Non public auditors have little to no process or controls work experience. They also tend to have soft deadlines.

If you’re not on public jobs you won’t be familiar with pcaob requirements and the sec filings, but you’ll probably be better at other things like figuring out how to perform different audits (new clients, variety of industries, understanding 360 degrees of the company, working with CEOs and CFOs earlier in career).
