Talked to a recruiter recently about a Senior Internal Audit position at a great company with a huge pay bump and ~10% bonus. Transportation would be covered, would be able to match PTO and get holidays. Everything sounds great including the team, but I would be stuck in IA for another couple of years. I told recruiter I wanted more IT focused role. Should I go ahead and apply and if I get the job, try to move internally eventually or just wait?

Which company? How easy is it to move internally or how long do you need to be with IA before you can ask for an internal transfer of teams?

It’s a publicly traded utility company (not sharing name since I don’t want to give away my location). The recruiter said I could easily move around and people have done that but I would need to have a concrete answer. I don’t imagine I would be able to move within a year but I’m not sure.

Also, should add the role is more focused on operational audits.
