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.

I really need advice/strategy for skill development, despite burn out and the weakened motivation. I am in a role that can, (in 2+ yrs), make me eligible to start at entry-level position in an area I want. I don't have 2 yrs.

Received an offer today…really like the company and role but,
They offered me less than what I’m making now, I’m currently fully remote and this role would be hybrid, meaning I would have increased gas costs and clothing costs as well.
The positives are that they pay for relocation and offered a 10k sign-on bonus (although I would have to pay back if I leave before two years).
I have other potential offers coming as soon as next week. Thoughts on what I should do?
