Practice vs. Industry - Where should you go post-qualification?

Posting date: 02 Apr 2019

The last three years of your life have been spent working towards qualification as an end goal, and now you have reached the finished line, you’re not entirely sure of the next step. 

Some work towards their next milestone within Practice and others seek answers within Industry but for many, a lack of internal career guidance means the future is anything but definitive.

An accounting qualification can take you anywhere and unlike many post-graduate qualifications, it’s not so much a lack of opportunity that’s the problem but more, an issue with knowing what opportunities to take and where those opportunities might take you.

Practice provides structure, job security and an almost limbo-like period between university and the real-world and while some enjoy the student-like and tailored journey, others are seeking the exciting opportunities that Industry can offer. 

We speak to three established professionals who have each moved between Practice and Industry at different stages of their career. We speak to a Head of Internal Audit, a Finance Director and a Senior Manager within Practice and they discuss their journeys to success and reflect on what advice they would give their newly-qualified self in a bid to help you reach a decision on where to go next.
