I think it depends on other factors and what you enjoy. For example IA really only exists in public/large companies, and its a smaller group.
Accounting advisory is more broad - technical accounting, operational, IPOs, etc, you are able to get a variety of those experiences in AA. So if you want to eventually leave, you can leverage one or many of those categories and either be in a specialized role or a controller-type role.
Personally i enjoy the variety and type of work in AA. I know i wouldnt be happy and successful in IA. Ive always had to fight to stay awake in walkthroughs. Lol
Either way, in advisory firms the levels are generally established based on years of work. The structure of promotions/levels is similar to audit firms.

Both are boring but IA is 10x worse.
I love IA 😭😭😭
If anyone wants to help me find an in-person IA manager role in Chicago that has travel, please feel free do haha.
I know in person is not ideal for many, but I enjoy interaction.
