What sampling methodology do you use and what’s the source? I’m part of a new internal audit department for a recent ipo company and we need to create a sampling methodology from scratch

Depending on the departments relationship the the external auditor you could always ask them. If you've gone through the IPO and need SOX I imagine someone might have already asked so they could create synergies for internal controls testing

Dollar value sampling = MUS. I know that article doesn’t go much into the methodology but it’s a start, the academic papers may be more helpful in that regard

Hi all,
I am currently working as Salesforce administrator with 3 years of experience and I am trying to switch. Can anyone please help me with the vacancy information.

Currently interviewing for a nontechnical role (final round is getting scheduled rn) and I see there’s a new job posting for a different role that I might be more excited by, for the same/associated team. What do I do?? Email my recruiter saying I want to be considered? Apply? How does going for two roles work? The referral from the original job I’m interviewing for has expired fwiw.

Serious question from a happy software engineer, what do you all love about your work/actually enjoy doing during working hours?

I'll start; I'm privileged enough to have been given the opportunity to work and learn deeply on Linux and Kubernetes, and I get to tinker and play with them all day. Problem solving with them is a "fun" part of my job.

Of course most things aren't roses and sunshine, but I'd love to hear the positive parts of what you are doing, or what you like to do at work.
