Stop calling it Tech Consulting
Pros: - Great Culture.
- Wonderful people, mentors, people.
- Plenty of affinity programs and extracurricular opportunities.
- Diverse (for a professional services firm).
- Young and vibrant culture.
- A lot of travel opportunities, also very easy to avoid if you want.
- Easy to roll on and off of projects.
- Job stability. People will probably always need IT Auditors?
Cons: - Salary leaves a lot to be desired.
- It is NOT tech consulting. They try to make it look like it in recruiting, but it really is just IT Auditing. Most of the work is Financial Audit IT, which is just auditing IT systems on behalf of audit teams.
- You might be staffed on a financial (business process) engagement at one point. If you don't like traditional accounting, then good luck. I hated it.
- All the data and analytics opportunities are outsourced.
- The more interesting (to me) opportunities such as cybersecurity are reserved for seniors and above, if you want to stay that long.
- Work is very repetitive and menial.
- Very few Exit Opportunities outside of compliance or IT Audit roles. This was huge to me. For a firm that boasts about exit ops, this particular role only opens one type of door.
