I want to get out of IT audit but don’t know if grass is greener on the other side. My total comp is 130k in a LCOL and fully remote. I also get to travel internationally to exotic places in Asia and Europe. Everything is good except I don’t want to wear the audit label forever. To me it’s an easy job I rarely work 40hrs and I’m very good at it I just don’t know how long I can keep doing this. I know I’m capable of getting another job but I may have to work much harder for a marginal raise

I'm in the same position as you, and I think the only true move you could make out of compliance work (for better pay) would be to a pure IT role - cybersecurity, engineering/development, project management. BUT those typically come with heavy increases in hours and stress, so you win some you lose some.

Totally agree. I’m still new in my role so I don’t have to leave yet but I’m thinking about a 3-5 years down the road I don’t want to be pigeonholed.

Are you at industry or public accounting firm?

Industry

The most common move I see from IT Audit is to cyber or to a governance role in IT.

Which firm are you working for and location?

Just an multinational company. I’m fully remote

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
