Don’t make your resume about audit. Spin it how you added value to a business, thought through strategies to address risk, created go forward plans, etc.

Strategy doesn’t want to hear about controls. You have great experience, you just need to tailor it to the job you want.

I have been offered a position at a non-US B4 with a 2 year path to partner. I know one of the partners at the local firm and have the support of the regional service line lead, and am bringing a specialized skill set they are trying to open a new business around. The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded. Anything I might have missed?
