Depending how long you’ve been at Deloitte should you consider a career change like that.

End of the day, the positions at Deloitte are ultimately sales jobs. So if you stick with it through the accounting or whatever you’re doing it becomes sales. The most successful partners are those who sell the most business. Be a rainmaker. Name, CPA, RM
