Should you leave audit if you get an offer from a bank paying the same salary? Will banking (credit analyst) offer more career advancement?

I'm guessing this was posted to get a rise out of people on here. In the off chance that it wasn't, I really wonder if you have any clue why you're in public accounting or what you're doing with your career.

Ha. Credit analyst? No. Cashier? Maybe.

Doubt it maybe investment banking but that's a tough gig to start

not investment banking and its mid tier firm only. Thinking the exit options may be better than in audit

Also any tips on networking would be appreciated. Thank you!
