Made the move from audit to industry a few months ago but am having second thoughts and am considering going back to public in an advisory role (I know there’s been quite a few layoffs recently at firms) and I’m thinking of applying after at about the half year mark at my new position. Is this considered too short of a tenure?

Anyone make a similar move and what was your outcome?

What level did you leave at and for what role?

I feel like it depends what your role in is treasury. I’ve heard capital markets/forex stuff is more interesting. I’d say about 50% of my time is spent on paying vendors which is pretty routine and not super exiting. Cash forecast is probably the most interesting part since I’m actively looking at cash position to see where our liquidity needs are and can make recommendations based on that so it’s more strategic which I like. Rest of the time is ad-hoc requests that come up and some month end tasks like calculating interest accruals and cash recons.

I like the project and client facing nature of when I was in public since I got to be on a lot of different clients but just not actually doing audit itself. Just felt kinda pointless sometimes and way to much documentation on things I didn’t care for in most cases.
