IT audit exit opps suck

Then switch to consulting

I wish, I think the easiest way is to go to a target MBA, but that’s just going to be 100k in debt especially with a B4 salary and where the consultants get it reimbursed too... so fucking demoralizing how different it is

You mad they’re doing their job?

I’ve fallen victim to the rat race I guess

That's cause their services are actually valued. I feel your pain but try to focus your energy on how to better yourself and switch to a better career, rather than just being upset at those people.

When I was recruiting for undergrad they only hired from my school audit, risk, and tax. I have requested an internal transfer at D and was not able to get an interview.

IT audit has better learning opportunities

I interned (part time) at Deloitte during my bachelor in IT audit team, I discovered you did not need a degree for the work and that every engagement was extremely similar and that there was little left to learn after 4 months.

I actually like my job but I only realized this past week how miserable so many of my more senior associates and partners are. Like, genuinely mentally ill that I could feeeel their anxiety or depression. How do people live like this and how do I not let it affect me? Maybe this is mean but I’ve never had issues like that and I don’t like being around that energy even if they treat me fine.

We don’t have kids yet so I need something to keep me busy, and I would like to still have an income and make decent money. Any ideas?
