Should I apply for an internal audit trainee position or do you think that internal audit is a boring job? I have heard that audit is boring in general. Any experiences?

I did external auditing for a number of years and so interacted a lot with internal audit teams. I can’t say I ever came across an individual in one of these teams that expressed this to me. It’s a great opportunity to work in an organisation, performing a critical governance role. The skills developed are very transferable into other fields and generally a role that is well paid. In particular for those starting out, audit is an excellent area to in.

It really depends on what each person likes or dislikes. I think that internal audit is really creative. It involves interaction with other people and it can help you build your soft skills too.
