What's better: leaving Audit to do internal audit at a large company with internal mobility and name recognition, or to do the analyst role you want at a shittier company? Basically, company vs. role.

Always pick company. Shitty never helps your resume or your quality of life.

SM: better hours, better pay, potential to transition to a business side role at some point. If I stay in audit any longer, I will be pigeonholed and not gaining the skills I actually want.

What does shittier company mean ?

Shittier company means smaller, non blue chip, potentially dubious, unknown upward mobility outlook.

I'd go with company. Unless it's a startup with tons of perks. If it's an established small player w/ no upward mobility - not worth it.

IA is a great transition role... good place to get noticed and being a good business partner (i.e., value-added recommendations, etc.) could lead to an invitation to join that department.
