Is there much upward mobility in internal audit in industry? I always see so many Senior roles posted, but significantly few Manager/Director level roles (much less so than accounting roles). Was curious everyone’s experience. Thank you!

We need to STOP glamorizing overworking. Please.

The absence of sleep, good diet, exercise, relaxation, and time with friends and family isn’t something to be applauded.

To many people wear their burnout as a badge of honor. It’s time to consider pivoting.

And it needs to change.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Is it bad to leave a job in less than a year? I’m at an agency with nice people, supportive, care about growth, etc But I feel that I’m not making book worthy pieces because our clients are so stale and don’t want to do anything fun. Or kill everything right before production. I feel like I’m wasting away.

Any recommended study material for CIPP and/or CIPM (still debating the two)?

To all who have exited from life sciences consulting, what firm did you work at, what did you exit into, and how is it going?

Subject matter expert with my CPA. I’m completely fed up with the compliance aspect of public accounting Tax but don’t mind the technical side. Does it make sense to become an attorney to get out of compliance work and still do something related to specialty tax?
Or do I just go the college professor route? Wouldn’t mind working @ BNA or something like that either but I’m seriously fed up with everything about tax compliance and can’t keep doing this

Hi Everyone, seeking career advice. I am working as a Market research analyst with an expert network firm similar to GLG.

Can anyone share their experience working with Tangerine Bank as Senior Manager for operations? Do you salary hikes and bonus yoy?How is the work culture for worklife balance. Job security and growth

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

WWYD?
I exited earlier this year, and my first few months were brutal for a variety of reasons owing to org changes amongst other things. I’m now close to an offer with another company, and feel torn about leaving so soon. Details in comments

Anybody want to create a hiking group in LA?

Hello! What is the best way to structure a discovery call for SaaS sales? e.g. share a deck, only focus on their use case (current state, goals, pain, etc.), share a story, etc. Lastly, how do you go further than surface level, like if they mention they are having issues with xyz, which is usually a symptom of the problem and not the problem itself. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

What third party applications are most of you guys using for internal audit management and sox testing? (I.e. workiva) and would you recommend it?

My co's IA dept is very new and my boss has asked me to look into a format for a memo we would write to a process owner to make a process recommendation. Not a formal finding in an audit report but more of a process recommendation. Do other companies have something similar?

Does anyone work for a large privately held company that is using their IA strategically to identify risks specific to the current pandemic? If so, what company and what are you looking at?

Hi, I recently got offer for retail banking IA function in JP morgan. This is my first move from public accounting and was wondering if IA is the way to go. Anyone working in similar role how are you finding it? What sort of career opportunity can IA offer?

Please share experience with Agile in IA. Seems like a lot of time spent in meetings.

for those of you in internal audit at the senior level, how many hours a week do you average ?

So I’m probably thinking too much. But I’m looking to leave public accounting and have an opportunity with internal audit. I want to make sure where I go I have good opportunities to advance and if needed be marketable to other companies. Do you think internal audit makes you more or less marketable to other opportunities in the future?

What’s a good comp package for a Director level industry role non HCOL? ~11+ years of experience in big 4

I recently made the switch to a fully remote Sr IA role. As a new hire, my manager asked me to come up with some measurable and quantifiable performance goals for the next 6 months, as well as a stretch goal. Does anyone have any suggestions? I appreciate the help.

How do people in the IA profession motivate themselves? Personally, I love the fact that we are exposed to different business processes (rather than a specific number or subject matter), also I actually like the fact we are a bit more creative than the typical “in our less than humble opinion we think this number is not too incorrect” approach adopted by our external counterparts.

Anyone here know the starting salary for an AVP at Barclays/Citi? Thinking about applying, but I’d like some insight.

Do you see substantial gaps between internal auditing outcomes on one side, and expectations of stakeholders on another side?

Would it be difficult to get a job in IA if most of my experience has been auditing private non-404 asset mgmt funds? I really enjoy process walkthroughs when I have them though. Also, does title matter that much in IA? I’m a manager now, but based on job descriptions it looks like I might have to go for a senior auditor role because audit manager roles generally call for 8+ years from what I’m seeing. Can title be negotiated?
