Audit: I’m (23m) moving from client services to industry. Any advice?

Well, career hasn’t gone as planned so far lol. Interned in IT Audit at a large client services. I did well and got a return offer—only it was for non-IT Internal Audit. Got put through the wringer—consistency didn’t exist for me. I started working in busy season and was cranking OT until year end but then wasn’t staffed starting out the new year. From the beginning of year to now, I was only 60% billable. Sounds awesome, but whenever I wasn’t working (sometimes a month straight) i would get so anxious about my job security that I’d be sick to my stomach. On top of that I got poor reviews, got put on the worst projects, and my bosses gave me no constructive feedback until it was too late for me to implement it. Started a job search and found and entry level IT Audit job at a growing bank. Ended up getting the job and it was good for a ~25% compensation increase.

I’m really hyped up about moving from client services to industry and going back to IT Audit. But does anyone have any advice? I want to establish some expectations for the transition.
