I’m relatively new to working in IA and so far I love it. I can see myself here long term between the good hours, decent pay, and exposure to snr mgmt it’s a great job. But do you ever feel like we’re not THAT much of a value add for the business or that our skills are not necessary transferable? Idk it’s possible I’m just getting too much into my head with the recent layoffs and all but hope to be proven wrong by people that have been in the space longer and see the broader industry picture.Thx

We exist simply because of regulation. If regulation goes away, IA will be significantly diminished. You can go above and beyond to partner with management to be a value driver. Those groups would survive deregulation. I also enjoy the aspects of IA you describe. It also teaches you how businesses run so I'd like to think there are some transferable skills to rotate out to accounting or fp&a or strategy

I agree 100% on the business. I feel like I know so much more about how a business runs from this experience than I did from my time in accounting

100% agree- regulation has bred this line of work and while it's around, we're fine. I do think this is such a niche level of knowledge that I don't know if it'd be useful for anything else...but I'd also argue that once you see the important of audits/certifictions on the business side, you do realize that we do pretty valuable work

So I was offered a role in Strategy Consulting in after 2 years in Risk Consulting however, after 2 years I’ve only worked on Internal audit engagements few ad hocs such as updating risk register and the delegation of authority matrix.

Honestly speaking I am doing good and I am up for promotion in October however I am not fully enjoying my time but I fear that the move would not be a good and I can’t hit the ground running which scares me.

Any advice and past experiences in such career shit?
