Is internal audit a good career path? I was presented with a position at a fortune 500 company, and I’m ready leave my PA firm, but not sure if leaving PA is right. I’m senior level

Depends heavily on the IA group. In the past year I’ve watched young employees (non-manager level) from my Fortune 500’s IA group move internally into other controller and manager positions and more are currently in talks for such roles as the group is seen as something of a training ground for better positions.

Internal Audit is awful.

Never liked internal audit during my 1 year stint... probably just the travel but that’s it. Didn’t learn anything. No standards. Worked with guys way above my age. Just doing some bs testing. Maybe if you want life work balance go for it. Id rather be a financial analyst than IA.

IA is where careers go to die

IA can be a great career, but don't stay too long. If there isn't a real prospect for manager by the end of year two, shift into management or another area of the company. Otherwise, like has been said before, you can get stuck. Source -was in IA for 6 years at two fourtune can companies.

If it’s Vanguard stick it out because you will be able to move inside the company after 1-2 years

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

Is this okay?

Howdy!
Is it common for to get asked to bring personal info such as ID’s SSN cards and void check to the first formal interview. I think maybe this recruiter is trying to speed up the process but seems unconventional. I am not familiar with that and I’m not comfortable providing any of that info prior to a clear offer. How do you feel about that ?
