To stay or go. I Have an offer to go to government DoD IG as a Performance/ Operational Auditor or stay at EY mainly doing internal audits and operational audits. Been at EY now for 1.5 years right out of college. Both options have their pros and cons, what are your thoughts? Really like the government work life balance and the people I’ve talked to on the team all seem good and not your typical gov employee. Wondering if I leave the gov after 1-3 years, what will my exit options be?

Go DoD, I left for GovTech as a contractor and have been loving it ever since.

Nice! Care if I DM you about?

I’d say you might get frustrated with the government but yes job security and yes to work life balance. (my 3 family members work for the government)

Could this role be impacted by government shutdowns?
That seems to be a trend lately in the political arena.

Depends on the type and area of government that is impacted for the government. As I have now learned, there are many parts to many spending bills and so just because the news says a government shutdown is coming, doesn’t mean it affects all of the government. I will say I did ask this in my interviews and they mentioned they can count on one hand one many times they have been affected by a government shutdown (while working for the DoD) That being said, at least the DoD, congress usually seems to keep the defense budget going since it is defense
