I am working as an internal auditor in a Fortune 500 company. My director told me there is a relocate opportunity to move from internal auditor to a financial analyst role, which is in another business unit/city/state and I like that new city more than the current city. I am not sure whether I should accept the opportunity? BTW I am moving to internal audit senior this year while the new role is an entry level financial analyst. I appreciate any suggestions or brainstormings. Thanks!!!!!

By the grace of god you have a chance to get out of audit. Take it and never look back

Very much this. You’ve been working IA right? When you inspect financial analyst workbooks they do some pretty neat stuff. I’d much rather do the cool stuff rather than leaving my trail of tick marks over the work.

Yeah why is this even a question. Take it!! Internal audit blows

Depends what your current outlook is for your IA role. If you enjoy what you do I don’t see why would leave. But if you’re looking for an exit then run for it.

Internal audit is one of the worst "accounting" careers. This is an awesome opportunity for you. I'd take it.

like

Do what you enjoy and don’t follow what others believe is “the worst”. Do you think you’ll enjoy the new role more? If so, ask for more details about what your responsibilities would be and make the decision based on that.

My entire career has been internal audit. Take it.

Do it

You hit the jackpot. Get the eff out of internal audit while you can.

This also includes new hires and staff, and seniors. Partners forget about it. They probably aren’t involved at all in building out the work paperwork but I feel staff, seniors and managers should be good users
