Influencer jk

@senior internal auditor 1 - why not be an influencer? If you’ve got what it takes to pull that off I think it’s the best job out there. It’s your own business - you call the shots, set your schedule, and your pay (if you’re good at it and the business takes off). But I think trying to be an influencer should probably start as a side hustle bc the reality is it’s not going to take off quickly - if at all

What do you like about auditing? And why don't you want to be a controller? Yours answers will well point you in the right direction. For instance, you might have liked that you were moving from location to location, and don't want to be doing the same tasks month in, month out. So you might decide to do internal audit. If you don't want audit, then you can find a consulting role, that will give you the same feel. Find your whys or you will find yourself job hopping

I just don't enjoy the long hours and travelling of public accounting. I do enjoy the fact that its not the same task every month.

Anyone else looking to negotiate full-time telework, or has successfully?

I work in public sector and though my position has been entirely remote, I was surprised to find that they're requiring me back in soon after 2 years. I was hoping to move closer home to care for a family member, so I think I should attempt to negotiate or move on to a full time telework job. Anyone else negotiating this or planning to make a leap?
