Now that I'm in manager position, I find myself, like many other Deloitte consulting colleagues, questioning how long I should stay.. especially as I want to start a family in the next two years. The thought of potentially missing my kids’ games and events during the demanding 5-6 years as SM is scary. Unless the PPMD compensation is truly compelling, I’m not sure the sacrifice is worth it.
I’d appreciate hearing from anyone with reliable, firsthand experience: What is the typical total compensation I could expect as a PPMD at Deloitte? What would you settle for?

Your mind is like your news feed.

Negative thoughts on repeat is like hitting the “Like” button on negativity:

“I can’t change.”
“I’m not good enough.”
“This is all I know.”

Negative self talk will produce more negative self talk.

You can retrain your brain to ignore negative thoughts and “Like” positive thoughts that help you. When you do, possibilities and productivity increase.

It takes time to change thought patterns.

A coach will get you there faster.

PPMDs, if an employee comes to you and ask for support to join a different group within the firm and the employees ends up not getting the other role, do you typically treat them differently after (e.g., not staffing them on as many deals) / would you hold them back from promotion the following year?
