Need some insight 🙂 While my job still says KPMG, I moved to a small local firm as an S1 and was recently promoted to a supervisor (manager is about 1-2 years out). I’d like to get into internal audit but am wondering about my chances of getting senior IA positions or if I’m better off boomeranging into risk assurance and maybe applying for manager roles in internal audit in a couple years. I’m in an awkward in between senior/manager spot.

What did you do at KPMG/at the local firm? External audit? I would say you have a good shot at coming in as a senior. You’ll have a harder time if you wait until manager.

I’ve worked in both public and industry IA. Happy to answer any questions you have.

Higher Ed and healthcare are actually great IA industries! And likely not doing SOX.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
