Would a job in industry internal audit be better than a staff accountant position ? I hate accounting and I'm done with PA.

By better I mean less numbers and more words/people/interesting stuff to test ( I did a job in RA) and I thought it was interesting. I also love inventory counts (yes I do) because I get to see how different business work. I'm in asset management and that shit never makes sense in my head

Internal audit here. Doing audits on the operational side is very interesting and a lot less numbers. However you will have to do Sox testing which is very very boring

You would probably be a staff in internal audit doing similar work as you are doing now. The word better largely depends on your personal preferences.

And the specific client culture.

^to add to that, at least as an internal auditor you won’t have to deal with general accounting which absolutely blows more than Sox.
