Pros and cons of A-lign? Currently being recruited for an IT Associate Manager - SOC position.

Pros - depending on which department you’ll work in, work life balance is better than Big 4. Cons - you don’t have time for “quality” , you sacrifice it because you’ll have more clients vs Big 4. They pride themselves as the top SOC report issuer in the world, which isn’t necessarily a good thing. For example, completeness and accuracy of a listing is not a thing. It is pretty much an audit mill.

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

Any roles you think I should be focusing on to target an exit and 30% increase?
