Neither
The best answer
Pretty different disciplines. Depends on your interests. Internal audit is more business process oriented. Tech risk is obviously IT related.
Tech risk isn’t the most technical field but you have to have more technical knowledge than internal audit.
At PwC, you may do both. But primarily focus on financial/business process risks - invoice approvals, rev recognition, fixed assets capitalization
Your question is not MECE 😎. Why would you make it 2 different things?
Here in France, we have our Technology Risk team (or IT Risk) which is basically a bunch of Internal Auditors with a specialty in technology. We mostly do internal audits, ITGCs are not so common (only a few SOX ITGCs we give to Juniors and young Seniors - except for the implementation stuff, IPOs and stuff like that).
Most of our engagements consist of internal audits or assessments / diagnostics for C-level executives (eg “should I get rid of my Security team?”, “why do all my project fail?”, “tell me how to secure my banking licence by taking into account ICT and Security Regulatory requirements”, “is this data center secure?” , etc.).
Frankly we’re never out of business... just difficult to hire as everybody sees our job as “you do ITGCs” 😫
Oh nice, perhaps if it was like that here I would have stayed in Tech Risk
Neither. Come to PwC

NEITHER!
From a guy who actually worked in both.
Howwww tell me tips please
I interviewed for an IA role at EY and it sounded fairly well rounded, but didn't align so well with me being a more goal-driven than rules-driven person. In terms of the Deloitte "Business Chemistry" I'd say IA attracts more "Guardians" and that the other types who work in IA become "Guardians" over time
Huh?
