Auditing

I would have to agree with the first comment. Lol. It's the actual job. Auditing is actually kind of boring next to accounting. So, that's another challenge.

Quality Assurance Audit where you need to audit Internal Audits and convince the auditors that they did something wrong!

Oh man those ones are STRESSFUL - possibly my least favorite type of audit! Luckily I don't have to do them too much but yeesh, not easy

Just everything man. The hours, the staffing, the amount of evidence, the amount of engagements. Like if I was just on 1 project, properly staffed, with an IA department it would be a nice job. But the fact that I have to spread time between 2-3 enagagemnets, we never have enough people, on and off shore, I have to constantly go back to the client for stuff they didn’t provide. I can’t imagine being a senior honestly seems even worse.

The day-to-day work. Honestly, I can no longer see the difference between slow and busy period. Lol

Dealing with entitled clients. I'm not sure if it's the same in other places. But they are definitely the most challenging part of my job. Lol

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

I’m getting put up for manager a year early. I have PPMD ,SM, and M support. Pretty much support from all the key individuals on my team and in my service line. Since it is a year early if i don’t get promoted this round I know it’ll come mid year but I do expect a good salary increase still without the promo. If I don’t get the promo nor a salary increase that I’m okay with, how do I let my partner know that I will begin to entertain outside offers? some of which have offered the manager role.
