I was laid off during Deloitte‘s mass layoff in July of last year. I have worked as an independent contractor since and projects haven’t been consistent at the client I’m working for. I’m looking to get back into a big firm and was seeing if anyone would be able to refer me or help get my foot in the door. I was a business analyst for 1.5 years at Deloitte and have several years of additional experience which I’d be more than happy to share.

Spent 7 years in industry. back in consulting now and glad to be back.
Once a consultant, always a consultant. Corporate life is stifling and easy to get pidgeon holed.
Consulting is much more fun and exciting.
I left consulting less than a year ago but so far can’t imagine going back. It’s so easy to impress people in industry. I left for a ~$25k total comp bump and already got promoted into a new role and got an additional $36k bump. And I work 40 hours a week.
On this project, and most often even as a SA.
D1, I agree with everything you said, except promotions can be harder if it is a long tenure company.
Beware getting wrapped up in the red tape. You'll find making real change can be frustrating company
D1 - Total comp?
$260k expected comp. Max is $310k. Don’t get me wrong there are definitely frustrations that come along with industry that don’t exist in consulting. But in my case the ROI is insanely better and I actually like the work.
That’s great comp - and hey, if you wanted, you could pursue your own entrepreneurial route on the side too (real estate or other) because you have TIME
D1 - What level were you at in Consulting before moving over?
Would you guys have left for a lower salary (-$20K)?
