I didn’t care about title, I cared about $$$ and WLB

I left for a role that’s similar to internal audit but not IA. There’s like no travel involved and left for ~30 or 35 % increase in base. For me, WLB was extremely important. I didn’t want to leave for a senior accountant position making 90k dealing with month end close every month.
