I joined as an intern in their risk (Internal Audit Outsourcing) practice but got a staff offer lined up in the Audit practice for when I graduated. I've been sorrounded by a lot of tax professionals and know their motivations and frustrations but never worked in that practice.
Any reason why you didn't want to do audit?
I did not do well in audit in college. Ironically, it was my lowest CPA score as well.
While I don't fully understand what auditors do, the small amount of work I was exposed to did not seem exciting or have meaning to me. I was also turned off by the travel.
That isn't to say we don't have our bad days too - work can be mundane after multiple years. I'm sort of hitting that point right now.
I will say though - girls and people on the audit side are: 1. on average better looking and 2. more social. At my last job, I fucked up by not making friends with more audit side people.
I think the outs in audit are much better than the outs for tax.
