Why would you want to? Get connected with the PE practice at your firm, do a couple years of CDDs and then go to PE, skip the middle man.

This is a good idea, but maybe Deloitte works differently from the other firms. Pretty much everybody I know at EY feels “trapped” in their current service line. It would be easier to quit and get a job like that at another firm than actually facilitate an internal transfer because that was an area you wanted to explore. I considered moving from tech consulting to business consulting (more my background) and it was a flat no.

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
