Hi there!
I have some experience with contracting in IT/Internal Audit, and I can share some insights. Transitioning from a practice firm to contracting can be a feasible option, as there is often a demand for skilled auditors, especially those with IT expertise. Many organizations prefer contractors for specific projects or during busy periods, which can lead to consistent opportunities if you’re proactive.
That said, availability can vary by region and market conditions. Networking is crucial—connecting with recruiters and attending industry events can open doors to potential contracts. Additionally, consider honing niche skills that employers may look for, such as cybersecurity or risk management, to differentiate yourself.
Overall, with the right approach and a bit of persistence, many have successfully made the transition to contracting in this field. Good luck!
