Re: Does a job like this exist?
I have to admit, I am a bit confused. Are you looking to get into front end, which is primarily design, or are you wanting to get into development which is more focused on code?

Re: Career path for IT auditors..?
So first of all, from a happiness standpoint, you should do what you enjoy. I've known accountants who love accounting, and I've known IT auditors who are lifers - they love the stuff.
