Nah. I was recruited into IT audit and took years to make the switch.

IT audit recruiting wines and dines candidates for months, consulting doesn’t. There is next to no competition for IT audit spots, they need bodies not brains.

We received 100+ resumes, and interviewed 30 candidates for 10 spots, and there were plenty of other strong candidates, the spots have now been backfilled. Not really a loss for us, but they will regret that decision in a few years. IT audit is similar pay to audit, same hours, and less exit opportunities. Terrible place to be.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
