Is it interesting and what are the opportunities to be auditor ? And what about being auditor in London ?

Hi everybody,

I'm a french speaker student in Banking & Asset Management at a not so well known university. I'm going soon to do an internship at the Big4 audit department focus on banking sector in Brussels. I choose this kind of internship as I don't feel comfortable with the pure field of Asset Management and all subject related to financial market and so on. By the way, I have to admit that I'm not the "best student model".. I'm really interested in finance but maybe not enough to perform at the uni and apply in a position with high responsibilities.

I heard that being auditor is a very good foundation in finance if your are interested in corporate finance, private equity, M&A which is my case. However, I've noticed that too much students in finance are applying in audit whatever their finance specialization which make me perceived audit as a too common way to start a financial career.

What are the opportunities after being senior auditor ? Is it possible to move to a Investment Bank, Hedge fund, Investment, fund, etc ? I clearly don't want to do a career in audit but integrate something more "sexy" as soon as possible.

Then, I would like to ask how are perceived auditor in London ? Are there more opportunities for a student who just looking for his way in Finance ?
