So I’m an idiot auditor. I am about to promote to senior -I’ve gotten 3s on every review. I have an opportunity to move from audit to deal advisory within B4. Am I equipped to handle the new role??

That is a question that only you can answer...do you believe in your ability to adapt? To learn new competencies? To be resilient? To do whatever it takes to achieve your goals? It might sound hard but no one said life is easy

Oh for sure. I’m definitely down to learn and adapt. For anything that isn’t audit lol

Go for it. I made the switch and although there was a learning curve at first (like any new job) I find the work more interesting and the job more satisfying personally

Your destiny awaits, my son

If you’re an auditor, do you really have to tell us you’re also an idiot?

At least you’ll be getting paid more. Show me the money!
