I know I’ll get mixed answers, but I need some advice. I have a network where I could possibly (keyword possibly) move into IT Risk Assurance. I’m currently on a long term Staff Aug project that I don’t think is adding any value to my development. I know IT Risk Assurance gets a bad rep, but I think it’ll help me better develop as opposed to the Staff Aug project I’m on. Please give me some advice on what I should expect as well as exit ops.

As someone who is entering their second year working in IT risk assurance, I can tell you I’m worried about exiting into something that isn’t compliance related. I would not recommend coming here, unless compliance is your cup of tea

like

Everyone I’ve seen exit from IT risk assurance has worked gone in to work in compliance or internal audit somewhere else. This is not something I’m interested in doing, so I’m worried that the skill set I’m developing here will make it much more difficult to exit into anything other than compliance/IA

like

You don’t really get into risk for the exit ops. It’s definitely possible to make a career out of risk but to get out requires broadening your skill set outside of work.

I broooooadly agree with E1 but wouldn’t say you necessarily need to develop outside of your job to get exit opps - my career path has been IT risk —> Business processes and accounting risk —> Finance team in industry; it requires a bit of luck and the right willingness to understand the bigger picture but it is possible

Why does it get a bad rep?

Wouldn’t say pay is too bad, and with an IT risk background you can go into a CISO sort of role; then again if IT risk and compliance is not your thing that is a negative and not a positive 🤷🏻‍♂️

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

Hi 👋🏻 Would love some support here - looking to build out a bonus structure for a Sales Engagement Mgr role - it isn't a typical sales role - this person will be closing deals but not necessarily securing leads. If they will be scoring leads, it will be organic via conferences, partnerships. Of course, we want to encourage and incentivize this person. Potentially giving then an extra 20-50k bonus potential. How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!
