Breaking into IT Audit (CISA, 5 YOE in tech + fin. risk + analytics) – advice?
Hey everyone,
I’m trying to break into IT Audit and figured I’d ask here instead of endlessly applying into the void.
Quick background:
- CISA certified
- ~5 years experience across IT apps (full-stack), financial risk reporting, and data/BI work
- CFA Level 1 + AI governance certification (IAPP)
I’ve worked closely with auditors on control design, testing, and audit requests, but haven’t held a formal IT Audit title yet.
Currently in the US (Albuquerque, NM) on a visa, originally from India.
If anyone here is in IT Audit (or hiring), I’d really appreciate any advice, referrals, or even a quick reality check on how to position myself better.
Thanks!
