Two years out of undergrad and already considered a "strong senior" (A2 ->S1 this year) This can't be sustainable for a firm. Where can I go that will actually put me in my place and teach me a lot??

Yeah if you are talking about SOX risk audit, then I think you need to branch out your competency a little.. ITGC is not that hard to master.

I'm in risk and I would like to stay in that area. I get that my post is self-aggrandizing but it's more nuanced than that. I'm saying I don't think I deserve to be considered "strong" in my area, and that I want a place that will knock me down and hold me to higher standards.

@op go work for a large bank or hedgefunds in "market risk" ! Sweet spot

IBs are for boring redundant not so smart people
