I am a big 4 senior with 3YOE that is considering a transition from external audit to senior internal auditor at a bank. When progressing to IA manager will my 3 years of external audit be taken into consideration or would I be restarting my career? Worried about progression.

Your external audit experience will 100% be taken into consideration - IA is very very closely related to the work you're doing now, so the skills you have are highly transferable and valuable!

Yes but expect promoting to manaher to take longer in industry

It's just not knowable. With 5 years senior you could probably apply around and find something but it would take time and probably not be a big bump (high paid senior to low paid manager).

3 years means senior associate at best. Everyone comes from big 4 so you don’t have a leg up. Go stay in public til manager and leave as a manager if you plan to stay in IA.

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field. I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE? I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.

Hi all 8.7 YOE now, Joined wipro 4 months back with 26.5+1lac JB. Skills business analytics. My current project does not follow agile processes at all, very relaxed client. However what im worried is after 2 years would interviewers expect me to have handled a project all alone and acted as a product owner. Thats what i sense once i have 10 YOE, if i switch it would be 6th company, (2 years break due to MBA ofcourse)

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
