What are the exit opportunities for IT audit? I admittedly have an easy job but I’m not motivated because people don’t value audit and it’s like a dead end career since we will never become the CAE unlike financial audit folks. I have been looking for other jobs but I would only get calls for IT Audit related roles. Please share your stories if you successfully moved outside of audit.

I moved to data engineering consulting from IT audit, but it was not a casual move. I learned to code and learned data warehousing, got a masters in CS, and networked like hell to get out.

Depending on how long you’ve been in IT Audit you might be “stuck”, but a really fun thing is IPO readiness - try to move into that space, you’ll typically have the chance to work on both IT and Financial topics and at least broaden your scope a little bit for another move.

However there’s always more money in the IT space, and at least 20% more on the IPO side. I’m “assigned” to IPOs but do a mix of IT Audit as well. My chargeable rate is almost double that of audit at the same level
