I don't want to go back to school whatsoever. It's not for me. How could I still advance my career (I'm an auditor) and pivot within the industry?

Certs all day. Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) is a great place to start. High likelihood your company will pay for it too.

Totally second this. I was given this advice a few months ago and I've been working on my CIA. It feels good to be working towards advancement after feeling pretty stagnant for many years.

I know a few people that internally transferred from audit to risk advisory. Do you know the risk advisory partner at your firm? I’d recommend talking to them about your career goals and seeing if there’s potentially the option to do an internal pivot.

Been with company for 2.5 years in a SFA role, and they just let me hire an associate financial analyst reporting into me.

Has anyone else had this before, where you are managing someone but they don’t give you a promotion? Sounds bizarre to me that they allow me to hire someone but then are hesitant to promote.
