What kind of industry exits are there in forensics? I work primarily lit support and want to leave around when I hit manager. CPA/CFE background currently.

In addition to the above, in-house internal investigations teams and AML/fraud units within banks and fintech companies come to mind. With CPA + CFE, federal law enforcement positions with the FBI and IRS are also common exits with those creds.

The other comments are true if you want to stay involved in a forensic capacity. But there’s no requirement that you stay in that niche when exiting. If you have your CPA and work lit support you probably have exposure to financial modeling. FP&A and CorpFin are common exits. Accounting/compliance/internal audit are also pretty much always open

Internal e-discovery in a corporate legal/infosec department comes to mind. (If that’s what you mean by lit support)
