I have a background in public accounting, specifically in SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits, and considering a career shift to IA. I'm wanting to find a role that's challenging but still gives me a chance of good WLB. I've been thinking about areas like performance audits or maybe even some specialized compliance audits. Which of these, or others, are considered the most well-rounded?

If you’re looking for variety and critical thinking, performance audits could be a great fit. Specialized compliance audits might be steadier but could feel more routine over time. Have you looked at operational audits? They give you exposure to different parts of the business and can be pretty dynamic.

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!
