If you're smart and resourceful, audit would be a waste. I've jumped elsewhere and found the work to be more fulfilling, better pay, and helped more in my skill and personal growth. Barely 1 year in, I already had to present to CEO and CFO directly and work on the problem from scratch and use tons of critical thinking. In audit, you always have to refer to some standards, whether it is software, audit, or accounting and the critical thinking is often just "how to cover this lobang".
