This is just a general question for anyone who's gone from auditing to finance or vice versa. How does the nature of the work compare?
I went to a non-target for my undergrad and doubled in finance and accounting. I took a job with a Big 4 because I had to have something. I don't mind the hours, but the nature of the work makes me want to stick a gun in my mouth. I've had some interesting projects such as valuing subsidiaries for impairment testing, but more than anything it's making sure numbers match on two pieces of paper. It's fucking retarded. Is it similar in finance or is there more doing something and less looking at what someone else has already done?
Would you pay someone straight out of college upwards of six figures to confirm numbers on one sheet of paper match those on another? There is a reason bankers make almost three times what accountants make, and the hours is just one piece of the puzzle...
