Hello - hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm looking into risk assurance opportunities at Meta, especially Application Manager, Controls (min 5 YOE) and Manager, Compliance (min 12 YOE). I am a Senior Manager with 9 years of IT risks assurance experience. Does anyone have any thought on which position I should apply? If anyone currently at Meta could share your experience, that would also help. If anyone is open to providing referrals, I could provide my background. Facebook (Meta)

Just keep trying and learning from your mistakes. If you’re juggling too much (which it sounds like you are). Talk to your manager. Ask them to help you prioritize. Then work down the priority list. Hell put it in a shared sheet. If a new task gets assigned. Pull up the priority sheet and ask where it fits.
Im honestly juggling the entire side of Sox walkthroughs and testing right now. I have some help from offshore but it really feels like it’s on me. I have some pseudo prio list but I feel like I have all the questions but there’s always one or two loose ones that come up a day later. Thank you for the advice.
Dude if your firm is expecting you to be an “acting senior” when you have less than 6 months of experience, that is completely on them. Do your best and if they get frustrated just remind them you’ve done this job for only a few months. You may also just be overly anxious about them reaching their “breaking point.” If they aren’t understanding of your situation, that’s not a place I’d want to be long term.
Seriously. That is so much pressure to put on a new associate and not at all going to help with retention. Not really surprising they lost "a few members of the team" if the company is managing situations this way.
Assurance or FAIT?
What’s fait?
Firm ?
Big 4, don’t want to say anything else
You sound like me and everyone else I know at our level. This is how it works in FAIT. You are not alone! :)
You are not alone. Keep learning from your mistakes and put systems in place to not fail in the future. Push some of the work down to your team.
This sounds like me, this is my 6th months, our manager left and I am the only one in our team knows the system software, history with clients existence issues etc. We have 4 new members joining us after manager left and all depends on me to help. I try to help with knowing I can still meet my deadlines, i do feel overwhelmed sometimes, I would set up focus time to make sure I can get my work done in time, and ask manager for help if needed.
