There isn’t an expectation of people sticking around in roles at FAANG. Churn is expected and teams and roles change constantly.

What do people transition to?

Depends on what you start as and where you want to end up. Going from sales ops to biz ops is not as much of a stretch as going from finance analyst II to product manager.

Marketing associate but ideally would want to be in s&o or Corp strategy—would it be better to stay in consulting or move internally?

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.
It’s discouraging because I’m a fast learner, and from talking to my friends who are Financial Analysts, it doesn’t seem like what we do is so dissimilar.

Thinking about leaving Big 4 and going into internal audit (currently about to be a Senior in Assurance).

I like working on controls/SOX much more than substantive. I thought about switching internally to advisory and doing internal audit but not sure what the best move is.

I don’t see myself ever doing a technical accounting role or any financial accounting roles. Ideally I would like to transition to more business operations type of roles throughout my career. Any advice is appreciated!
