I have an urge to go back into PA due to several factors related to industry life (Not as challenging, no strong growth opportunities, lacking mentoring/teaching). It’s been about 2 years since I left, would it be difficult to boomerang back to IT audit/assurance to another PA firm with a manager title? I have over 5 years of IT Audit/compliance experience. Has anyone gone through this process?

PA will always welcome you back with open arms, especially when you're heading back to a high growth / busy service line like IT Audit. I just left PA 3 months back myself for an IT Compliance role in industry, and everyone told me before I left that I could always come knocking if industry didn't work out. Best of luck!

Yeah I did something similar. Left PA as newly promoted manager, spent 2 years in IA in industry, and came back to PA. Came back as manager but was promoted shortly thereafter. Good luck!

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
