Need advice on interviews. I have not interviewed since my first career, which was 3 years ago. Currently working at the Big 4. Focused on SOX but mainly IT. What are some questions/ websites/ videos that I should look into? One position is Sr. Internal audit and the other is security compliance.

Definitely get a good grasp on the types of areas you’ve tested and can describe the team leading activities you’ve been part of. Additionally, try to really understand what the job description and the company’s direction and tech looks like. So for example, if they are looking to focus on cloud technology, make sure you can talk about cloud technology and what areas of focus exist there (so looking at CSA guidance for example).

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?
