I have only been in external IT Audit by now. Although, I one of my colleagues just left to a client and is performing internal IT audit. The biggest differents is focusing on just 1 client (internal) vs having various clients (external). Also it's more "relaxed", meaning there is as much work as external.

I did big 4 for 4 years and am not in internal audit for the past 5 years. I definitely prefer internal, so I can actually get to know the place more rather than getting bounced around to different clients all the time. It’s also easier to get access to certain internal applications that make it easier to get evidence.

I once was a CISA… I have no IT background, no IT degrees (2 ACCT degrees tho); never did/saw a shred of an IT audit/assurance work/client/OTJ training of any kind. Forced by employer to choose CISA vs CPA, CISA was way more feasible at the time. I passed 1st try. My firm had zero IT work. So all my CPE reqs lapsed, and my cert expired w/ zero resume material to show for it. I see IT Auditors paid WAY more. I’d love that! I’d re-sit. But idk my head from my ass about practical application.
