Hey all, Anybody a fraud investigator, or know anybody who is ? If so, how do you or he/she like the job? I have zero motivation in my current job and I sorta want something completely different.
You mean like the FBI or SEC? A close friend of mine just got a FBI White Collar Crime investigator position. I interviewed at the SEC last year. I’m in the same boat as you, I have this draw to enforcement.
Care to elaborate a bit on your SEC interview? I’ve applied there in the past, but never received a call back.

The SEC held a phone interview where they went through the basic, “Why SEC, why enforcement, what do you bring to the table, etc.” Real straight forward interview questions. Sadly I never heard back after that.

You can be part of the Office of Inspector General, DOJ or FBI - depends on your interests and what you can get into. The work itself is very interesting and varied - each case is different. I have been in the position less than an year and so far I like it. Yes, get a gun but don’t usually carry it unless you are in the FBI.
wow you get a gun too? will they let you carry it onto an airplane while traveling?
Do you need a CPA?
marcus, care to give more detail on the background need? the pay? and some examples of the cases you worked on? Is it realistic to start a career in the field when you hit your 30s?
