Both. Do you want to be an accounting expert and work in that context either in public or in industry or do you want to pivot to finance and take a shot at exiting in to Corp Dev or FP&A.

Both are good paths just personal preference

The only part I enjoy in audit is actually doing the substantive work, testing, explaining what’s going on, writing memos and all the rest for example controls, engagement admin, planning I dont really enjoy it. I’m just looking to learn more technical skills and stimulate my brain on interesting stuff. As senior right now, I feel like I’m just learning project management and that’s about it.

Just got an offer in a boutique firm to do civil litigation. I am currently in tax, so I have no experience whatsoever. I have been interested in litigation for a while but I don’t know if I’ll like it. Understandably, I’ll be starting out as a staff since I have no experience in that area. Should I take the risk and make the jump?

I’m going crazy in Audit, I’m an A2. I think I’m going to try and transition to consulting. Would it be smarter to stay within the firm or go to a new one, and is there a half-step I should take (such as going to TAS for a year or so) before going into consulting? I just want more exposure to companies I work on than just the audit, it doesn’t feel like stuff I’ll be using in 5 years (but I’d be happy to be proven wrong on that). Business strategy/biz dev is catching my interest recently.

Should I ask her to represent me or should I apply directly myself? What advice do you have? What are the pros and cons?
