As an incoming BTA at Deloitte with an assigned home office as Atlanta. Would it be out of line for me to ask to switch offices before my start date (July)? Thinking of asking to move to Chicago.

No harm in asking for it. Say it's for personal/ family reasons :)

I did this at IBM. Was hired for Charlotte, but lived in Boston and told them I was not able to move to Charlotte. No issue getting it switched.

Depends on your role. Should be easy if you're in one that requires frequent travel

Can’t speak for Deloitte directly, but I know people who have done this at Accenture and IBM and it wasn’t an issue (assuming they have the headcount for one more in Chicago). It seems like you’d be asking with enough advance notice, and the worst thing they can do is say no

like

Yeah I think it’s just an issue of whether they have enough resources for another analyst in Chicago. I’d go for it, since you don’t start for a few more months

I would talk to your recruiter ASAP to find out. For BTAs you get to rank your #1 and 2 office locations and they place you by what you rank. Know a lot of people who got their #1 office request. It really is if they have space, everyone’s been placed now.

Absolutely you should ask, wouldn’t think it’s a big deal

Just remember early start BTAs already started (they will tech be in your same class) Atlanta isn’t bad for BTAs it’s got a good technology network, it was one of my second choices.

Home office revamp recommendations:
1. Autonomous standing desk: honestly the best desk ever! Order arrived in 3 days, even better quality than I imagined. I got the L shape one, fits 3 monitors and a laptop comfortably on one side. Now I stand while taking calls. I wish I had it last year during busy season. Oh I have a promo code if anyone is interested: R- 200les
2. Steelcase gesture office chair: same chair as PwC office.

Hiya Guys, so I can tell I am burned out and inching into the grey pit of complacency. The burn out is already here, but the slide into grey-pit is not acceptable. I have a masters in business admin, 8+yrs of hospitality management experience, and a bachelors in science.

I really need advice/strategy for skill development, despite burn out and the weakened motivation. I am in a role that can, (in 2+ yrs), make me eligible to start at entry-level position in an area I want. I don't have 2 yrs.
