What are some Audit exiting opportunities after 1 year Big 4 experience? Got an offer for IA, but not sure I want to go that route. Prefer to transition into a financial position, but wondering what is available.

Financial Analyst? Risk Advisory? FP&A?

Would love to hear more about people who just left the big four industry, and what they transitioned into.

Just jumped to a credit risk solutions role with 1YOE

I just started so I’m on the bottom of the totem pole, but it’s a little similar to audit but much more anaytical and less restricted. Otherwise, we do a bunch of work on large securitization deals which is the really interesting part. Pretty much FDD

I wouldn’t leave big 4 with only 1 YOE. Maybe switch service lines if you hate it. The beginning years really accelerate your career

Good understanding of the balance sheet (and the 3 statements, generally), which is a pretty fundamental component of our work.
