Work with recruiters for companies and be open to contract roles as that helps get your foot in the door with companies!

If you see roles with the recruiter or hiring manager listed on LinkedIn, message them directly to introduce yourself, mentioning any positions you’re interested in. If you make a good impression, you may be at the forefront of their mind when a good fit position opens up and they’ll be more likely to contact you.

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?
