Hey everyone! Seeking some career advice. I’d like input from both sides, and bonus points from those of you that have been in both areas.
A little background: I’ve been in public for about 3 years doing audit, passed the exams, and now looking to move on. I feel as if I’m stuck in terms of intellectual growth as my work has become repetitive.
I have the opportunity to interview for a few jobs towards the end of this week for an internal auditor position (Company A) and a SEC reporting position (Company B).
Both companies are large companies, with A being in the energy sector and B in the financial sector. Both are different sectors than what I work in right now. A provides the possible opportunity to move around within the company after a couple years of experience whereas B offers an entirely new skill set.
Assuming I am offered both positions, which would be the better opportunity? Long term I’d like to be a CFO (like everyone else!), but both seem to be excellent opportunities to grow.
What would you all suggest? Go into internal audit doing similar work as I do now with the hope of transitioning into maybe a financial analyst or manager level role or grab a new skill set in SEC reporting, which may open new windows of opportunity in the future?
Any input is greatly appreciated and sorry this is so long!
