Sample cover letter for Internship position at Deloitte

POSITION:

Tax

GC,

I recently decided to leave my position in a Big Four Advisory position after only working there for about a year. Long story short, I was naive when I graduated and I let a recruiter talk me into the IT practice in Advisory. My education and my work experience had all been in technical IT and business analysis up until that point. Like I said, I was naive. Turns out, IT consulting in the Big Four is just auditing with a fancy title and slightly better pay. I have nothing against auditing, I understand that plenty of people make informed decisions to get into that field. It was just very clear that I couldn't even muster a little interest in auditing. My honest question is this: what really draws someone to audit? And for those people with backgrounds like mine that end up at Big Four firms, why do you stay?

I've asked people at my current firm and all I get is a jumbled mess of buzzwords and the same tired, "looks great on your resume."

What do you all think? Again, I'm not trying to bash the profession, just wondering what you really enjoy about it? Especially for the people with IT backgrounds, what keeps you in IT Audit?

Thanks,
