What are some things to consider/ask when deciding between an internal audit manager role at a Fortune 500 company vs. a mid-cap. The mid-cap has same salary with 7-15% higher bonus dependent on performance. I’m somewhat stuck on whether the prestige / growth opps At the Fortune 500 are enough to outweigh the comp difference.

I’d go with where you are lacking exposure to. If you’re F500 client heavy, I’d go down to midsize. And vice versa. Will help round you out for the next exit.
