I am currently a Tax Staff at my company and wanting to switch to IT Risk. The only issue I have had is finding people who have switched from Tax to IT Risk because it is more common of a move for Audit Staff. Anyone have any good advice or have made the switch from tax? Any good points or questions I should be asking people while I try to go through this process? I may be talking to the consulting head at my company next week and thought I might get peoples thoughts while I prep for the meeting

How’s your week so far, EY 2? I really like what we have going here

Take the CISA. As long as you can pass that, you’ve proven you have the right baseline of skills. IT audit is always in need of staff.

Yes, I have heard this would be a good thing to take and I was planning on taking a deeper look into it soon (once busy season ends on Monday). Thank you for the advice!

I switched from tax to risk advisory (not IT based). I found it easiest to just switch firms for that move bc I saw way too many coworkers waiting 6 months to a year to actually switch internally. And even after the switch, they would still be working on some old lingering projs from tax. Happy to chat more on my experience if you’re interested

This is crazy that this is what happens to people. Thank you for the advice. I will definitely think this through.

Happy to refer to PwC Digital Assurance and Transparency practice. It’s what we call IT Audit. If you’re willing to learn we’ll teach you. If you have CPA, then the CISA isn’t needed. If you don’t have either, don’t let that stop you, get hired and get PwC to pay for your study materials

Thank you. I will definitely keep you in mind if I end up having to look for a new job :)

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving.

Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
