Six years in IA and I see my colleagues leave for business partner jobs after a year or so, but I keep finding reasons to stay. Any other career auditors on here? What keeps you in audit for the long haul?

6 years in audit as well. I like it because it’s easy. I just report what I see and keep it moving. No real ambiguity, just straight forward work.

I enjoy what I do, have mostly great clients and usually strong teams. I've been in B4 audit since I graduated from university over 30 years ago.

Have I had lousy clients and crappy team members occasionally? Of course. If the good days exceed the bad days, you are doing okay.

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??
