Capital Markets is a lie. It's really just more auditing
Pros: Travel opportunities is a big pro. Plus the team is generally supportive and there are some hard working individuals. I think if you like working within a audit role and you're okay with spending time in low quality audit files, you will thrive.
Cons: The work streams a terrible. The partner group is very unconnected with the life of seniors and managers. I feel like they told me that this would be a way to see something other than audit, but 100% of my work is audit related. The title should be called "Audit Specialist group" and NOT capital markets. Have no mistake about it, this team specialises in US SOX compliance, internal control engagements, and uplifting audits that require assistance from London audit specialists. Overall, this is a great team for someone who loves auditing, but not for someone who wants to see capital markets exposure. I feel lied to.
