Is it possible to get ‘general audit experience’ and attest hours from an industry job? I am trying to finish the experience requirement for both my CISA and CPA outside of B4

You will need a CPA to sign off. There’s nothing from stopping them but unfortunately you don’t work in audit... so it’s really like what the heck? Some states let you still obtain a non-signing CPA designation which essentially means “I’m book smart but didn’t actually work in public accounting”

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?
