For b4 audit, interns mainly do less challenging work. Roll forward of Py documents, fill up lead sheets, copy paste stat audit minutes, vouching lots of invoices, cash and expenses sections etc. etc
Good on resume , but if u want more exposure, try smaller firms. The learning curve is steeper for interns.
For full time staff, I think the learning curve in b4 only starts at a2 or s1.

You how old? That batch should be well into mid career by now already.
Suggest you don’t mix around here if you don’t want to be wrongly associated.. now is different already.

Hours are delicious, 9-6, sometimes can leave earlier if get my BAU done quickly. Only OT one day every month for closing. and that ends at about 8pm at worst or 9pm if got last min changes. But of course not every fpna role is so good i believe.
Pay i got a 10% bump (ya it’s lower that what i hoped, but what to do i no prior exp), beyond that i cant say. But the point is i decided to leave because i was okay with this pay in the medium term, but overall long term im quite sure will continue to progress.

Perhaps the prevailing belief is that the older generation in their 30s to 40s, who dominate the audit industry, require fresh perspectives and youthful energy for tasks like vouching. This could explain the push for younger talent.
This shift may be causing anxiety among older professionals in their 40s and 50s, who fear a lack of younger individuals entering the audit industry.
