I have been with IT auditing field and lately not very excited about the role in a consulting firm.
Want to pivot to a more meaningful role. I think throughout my work experience, I have been with auditing only and have 7 years work experience.
Any avenues where I can take my career forward. Feeling very lost and demotivated.

IT auditing is not consulting tho

Consulting is when you contract a body of work and deliver. IT Auditing is consulting like anything else that a vendor provides.

Information/ Cyber risk! Came from a similar background in IT Audit, then moved into Compliance, and finally now in InfoSec and feeling like I make a contribution. Also... get out of consulting and go internal with it.

I was a manager at a consulting firm’s it audit team and the feelings are so similar at my end too. I just made the switch to a senior info sec because I hated being a manager at my firm, there was too much pressure on a manager with less than 1 year of manager work ex. I am at a tech startup now. Am I doing meaningful work, idk. Hopefully time will tell since I am still on boarding

Good luck! I hope it works out for you.

Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.

Had my 2nd interview with the hiring manager this past Friday & sent a thank you shortly after. It's now Tuesday (for those who see this on another day). At the end of the interview he said they've had other people who were interested but only one other person besides me were they considering. Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.

I’ve been promoted with a title but not the responsibilities. I’m job searching and am primarily looking at postings that don’t include my promoted title — I’m not sure how to professionally articulate in an interview why I would be willing to take a “step down”. As I see it, I’m looking for a lateral move because I don’t actual have experience as a true “senior”.
