Is IT audit in the midst of WFH the most boring job in consulting?
I’m on IT audits and since covid it’s become horrible, at least before we got to go to the clients and chat with them, and have a team, afterworks etc. Now it’s just calls and gathering evidences and documenting. All of the fun part is gone. I feel like I’m getting depressed. It’s becoming painful to file evidences and I feel like it serves no point because the clients never follows the recommendations. I feel useless

Yes. It was already a dull job before the pandemic. I wouldn’t even call it consulting tbh.

If I see one more article on how millennials are ruining the economy or housing market by not buying enough homes or selling enough homes I'm going to scream.

Now that we're ready to save again inflation and COL are at an all-time high and we're headed into a recession. And somehow this is my fault for what...not being a boomer? Bffr.
