Need help deciding, after big4 audit as a senior is it better to go into a industry accounting role or internal audit if what I’m looking for is less hours but still great pay. I’m leaning towards internal audit since there are no month and year end closing periods. Does anyone have any insight? I’m in a HCOL

Wow are you me? I was in your shoes and went into “consulting” aka risk advisory lol. Hours are better but pay? Not that much. I think you’d find higher pay in industry although you’d probably have a mini busy season each month for close. A friend of mine recently made the switch to industry and is working 12 hour days during the month end close.

Omg I don’t think I can do 12 hour days anymore lol

Govt is also an option if you want a strict 40 hours

Great pay and less hours! Love that attitude
