IT AUDIT

This is paradise compared to Core assurance. IT auditors get paid more and work less/ with less urgency than Core Assurance folks in busy season

Sure. You spend 7 hours a day in technology meetings talking in circles about boring technology topics. After that, you have 5 hours a day of technology work creating technology deliverables. Hope that helps!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
