Job Responsibilities
My primary responsibility is to perform internal control reviews
at various J&J affiliates across the world. Each engagement
ranges from 2-4 weeks at a time with on average 2 weeks in
between back at the corporate office.

Job Requirements
The position does not require an MBA but together with it and a
CPA certification will you good positions afterwards.
|
Uppers
The best part of the job definitely has to be the international travels. It is
an eye-opening experience visiting some countries for the first time, places that
one will likely never visit on his/her own.
|
Downers
All the jet lag associated with travel, together with intense
pressure to get the work done in a pre-determined time, can be
very stressful at times.
|
Lifestyle
This position is definitely not for everyone. For young singles, this position
is great and will allow you to meet more people and get exposed to different
cultures. For settled married people, it can be a drag on the family.
|
Compensation
Compensation has a lot to do with experience and certification.
With the whole Sarbanes-Oxley legislation, auditing is becoming
more and more important. With it comes the gradual increase in
salary due to market demand.

Advice to Jobseekers
For people starting out a new Finance/Accounting based career,
this is the way to go.
