Not that it’s right but most places have bad training. They throw you in the water and you sink or swim.
Situation is not far similar in private companies not just in government. It's really frustrating for new employees on their first few weeks on board. Had to experience the same too. It will eventually leave you learning on your own just like the first comment said. Either you sink or you swim.
Fundamentally, Private is a volume business with typically lower margins. There are areas focused on emerging growth companies (EGCs) where they're looking at startups and companies they're hoping to go public, but a lot of Deloitte Private for example is focused on those small businesses where you're just going for numbers. On most public jobs, you'll get some nice small "quality of life" perks like expensed coffee runs, happy hours with a tab, nice team dinners, bigger budgets for snack orders, etc. On the private jobs, there's a lot more pressure to control costs.
Depends on your goals.
Exit opps are better if you go public, as you can then jump to any public company since you'll have SEC compliance knowledge. Your work/life balance tends to be significantly worse though from what I've heard.
My opinion is that the best place for a career in IT audit is at an audit firm, especially Big 4. You’ll immediately be in high demand and get to work on a wide breadth of projects.
I’m not in IT but am saying this from previous experience in Big 4 and current interactions with our external auditors in industry. Everyone has been constantly looking to add good IT talent for several years now!
Yeah, absolutely. It seems all the IT audit positions I've applied for consider me a lower-tier candidate and therefore feel I should be paid less due to not having B4 experience, if they consider me at all. Its one of the reasons I'd like to change fields.
Honestly I would've thought government would be WAY more chill compared to private sector stuff so am pretty surprised by this. I guess the big 4 will be a MUCH better move for you in this case, you'll get more opportunity for sure
It's a crap shoot, honestly. There are some sweet perks on the gov side, but like others have said...there's a lot of marketability in the private sector. How long have you been in gov?
Being micromanaged is a big no for me. If you no longer feel like it, then you are free to choose another job, OP. No need to compromise your mental health and career.
