What are the growth prospects in internal control testing?

I come with 2 years of experience in business valuations (from one of the big 4s) and am planning to look at a career in internal control testing.

This would be highly appreciated as I have just started out in my career and really confused as to what roles suite my liking.

Hello!

I'm working as a functional Consultant in Oracle SCM cloud for a year and half now. Already have worked in a role with good enough functional side in the project, was unbilled for quite a while and now I'm being offered testing roles :(

I have done my MBA and prior to that had manufacturing experience.

Is this kind of role, I should be accepting? I'm unsure if it will help in my career growth. Also, in fear that this testing role will set a bar for me in the organisation. Then again fearing that I'm unbilled.

Please guide me.

Unsure where to post, this seemed like a good space.

What is the future scope of the PM job role...will it still be relevant after 10 years, Is going to IIMs spending close to 25 lakhs in this economy to get into a PM job role justified??
Context: I know many people will say you don't need IIM to break into PM, But considering I'm a 25 Male, from tier 3 college...currently working as a product designer with 8 lpa...so I think the only way to reach 25-30 lpa in hand by 28 is by joining IIMs

Is getting into IIM to get into PM role justified?

Hi,

Any internal or ex-internal auditors here ? Good day y'all. If I may ask, How was your career trajectory? How much are you earning now after your experience?

If you have moved or planning to move to any different domain, what is your rationale behind it ?

Sorry in advance, if my questions are seeming more like an audit enquiry😅😅

Hello folks,
I am currently in the field of Audit with an experience of 1 year under 1 of the Big 4 accounting firms. However I would like to explore more since this didn't catch my interest and the work life balance is shit!!! So I am planning to get a certification of Business Analytics. Can anyone guide me with the opportunities- growth wise and money wise.

Thanks in advance:)

External Audit

Hi guys, 

I've been working since the last 1.5 years as a customer service & operations analyst ( similar to process analyst/ operations analyst etc. ) in Retail Banking Ops and would like to upskill and switch to better roles ( where productivity and performance is not quantitative but qualitative as well).

My target roles/job profiles are those where BAU is not confined strictly to copy paste tasks but stimulates intellect. 

Would appreciate suggestions/certifications / courses which will make my resume strong { strong enough to apply in mid-career roles in investment banks( for example JP Morgan), AMCs (BlackRock), audit firms (KPMG), financial services ( AmEx), banks with GCCs in India ( NAB ) } 

Thanks in advance. Would appreciate referrals if any.

Hi!

I have a professional dilemma and would appreciate any thoughts, advice and experience you can share.

I have a 5+ years in strategy consulting working for a Big4 - I like my work, team and the organisation 

Though, now I crave for some different experience - maybe work for startup’s or a VC firm

I have been offered a job in a boutique investment bank - which works with startup’s in India

My questions:
1. Is it worth switching for a Big4 to a Boutique Investment Bank - will it effect my further employability
2. Does this get me closer to my goal of working for a VC fund someday?
3. What salary hike should I ideally expect 

Thank you in advance for all the help!

I’m currently working for a big bank for a little bit over a year and I want to switch departments internally but finding it relatively difficult. 
I am currently working in the frauds department and I intend to switch into a risk/controls/strategy role but do not know what exactly do I need to do for that. 
Any folks who maybe made a switch into these departments from a different one would be kind enough to guide a lost soul like me? Your suggestions would really be appreciated.

Hey guys,
I thought of shifting from Internal Audit to Investment Banking, currently am working in Deloitte in Internal Audit Domain as Senior Risk Analyst.

Reasons for Change in Carrer Path
1. Am seeing life of my seniors who are in the highest position, they have traveling all the time there is no way of personal time for those floks
2. Am aslo a recently qualified CMA and I don't think the future is bright for CMA's in Internal Audit.
3. Mostly importantly what am getting in this job is very less salary
4. Even now am very far fron Family and only god knows about my future if am still in Internal Audit.
5. Main problem is I have seen people (Client's employees) who are CA qualified with experience in Internal Audit are spending their most of the time in Vouching.

Why I want to go to IB?
1. Pay is way more greater
2. No need to do all the repeated work
3. No particular certification / Profesional degree is compulsory
4. No need to travel more.


This are my reasons could you guys please help out with your opinions. It would be so helpful.
