the longer you hang out in public the better industry job you can get, I'd give it a couple more years

get out of governmental, get assigned to oil & gas, manufacturing, oil & gas service companies...govt auditing only looks good if you want to work for the government

what size firm do you work for? big companies like big firm experience... any SEC?

and lastly....move to houston

I'd try to get to at least the 3 year mark.

GAAP application and SEC knowledge will be a common theme in interviews. Tack on specific O&G audit experience. You're in.
