I moved from financial audit to it audit and it has been the worst decision I had made. It audit will not give you any technical experience and will make you less marketable. I'm looking forward to moving back to financial audit.

That's true at 2-5 years into IT audit, but what I noticed is that the salary really stagnates at 150-180k, even people I know working on IT audit for 20 years or more don't reach 200k.

Not KPMG, speaking from experience. Worked across the table from EY and PWC teams a few times and was equally unimpressed. Maybe Deloitte has it figured out.

2 years Industry Accounting - manage small team, improve monthly processes, month end close, reconciliations, generate financial reports, generate budget and forecasts

B: SaaS Startup | $100k + $15k bonus. Equity with an IPO looming.
Team is much more robust. Lots of ex-agency folks.

I'm 41. Wife and baby. Money is important, but I would accept a little less money for WLB, career trajectory, and/or stability.
