Hi guys audit senior manager from one of the big 4 and here sharing you my impressive career progression over the years

yr 0-1: Audit Associate
yr 2: Audit Senior
yr 4: Audit Assistant Manager
yr 5: Audit Manager
yr 8: Audit Senior Manager

It took me 8 years to achieve where I am today, additional few more years to become audit partner. Outside of big 4, you will not be able to achieve such a linear career progression and easily get stuck/outsourced or possibly retrenched. Look at all the global banks and tech firms they have been cutting headcount and all but big 4 audit is iron rice bowl. Suggest fresh grad to stick it out the grind and stay at least 8 yrs to get ahead of your peers

You are missing the whole idea of audit/IA. Whether or not fraud is detected doesn't matter. The main reason this profession exists and why it won't die is because of risk transfer. It exists so directors and senior management can transfer/share the responsibilities of due diligence to another "profession" party. Imagine if the directors cannot name a single independent monitoring framework? They will be surely charged with non due-diligence.
