Good comp, straightforward work, no more than 40/45 hrs/week (in public at least, haven't had experience in Industry) - been in IA for 4 years, happy to answer any questions and highly recommend!

Oops i meant “anything but straightforward” yeah i feel like i got unlucky. It’s so messy and unclear. Only a few people are butting heads trying to figure stuff out on their own while other people are left out on what’s going on in the overall direction and planning

Boring but good wlb

Pros: Often good WLB

Cons: Literally the most boring "accounting" job out there with no exit ops. A monkey could do this work.

Internal Audit is only worth it at big companies like Tech or Public companies where you can rotate from IA into a finance or other roles otherwise you’re gonna get extremely bored and you’re in a dead end.

Good work life balance but becomes boring as time pass by. Not so good if youre trying to find career growth

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls. It’s a modest Midwest city with ~100k residents but is a relatively touristy spot. It often feels like a MCOL area but I’m not sure how to adequately judge that, and it would be helpful to know when comparing salaries and the like.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
