The EY option. IT is everything now so better to build that expertise early.

P.s. I’m not at EY so nothing to gain by this advice.

Don't listen to Partner 1.
General audit>>>IT audit in every way

Do you want to test interfaces between IT systems or do you want to send cash confirmations?

I agree with Partner 1 on this. There’s more value add in IT than there is in the external audit world (which is where I spend my time). As long as you continue to apply the accounting side of things during your time in IT, you’ll gain more from IT. My experience with our IT consulting group is that they forget what debits and credits are and then stray too far from their purpose. Avoid that, and you’ll be good.

Goal: Data Science/ML

3. Work FT and find out what I really want to do

Context: Going into final year of MIS degree with CS minor at UGA. Really enjoying classes on hard skills, haven’t taken all the business side classes but so far not as interesting. Interning at KPMG for data analytics rn, haven’t gotten much useful experience. Family may have financial hardship soon.
