I work with a big 4 company, with their financial crimes department. In the past 4 years I saw that there is always less business and they keep cross teaming me with other practices that align with my skills. Is it the same case with other big 4s as well? What's the next best move that I can make? I'm a jack of all trades (internal audit, aml remediation, control remediation, quality assurance and what not)

Just transferred from IT Audit to Strategy and Transactions. Been a goal of mine for a while so I’m happy to see it play out. Not posting just to say I did it, but because I’ve been following this bowl for a while and see people get negative about being pigeon holed. There were tons of transferable skills that I was able to highlight that got a role that’s completely different, so I just don’t want anyone feeling discouraged if they’re hitting walls.
