Currently work in financial services internal consulting role with 6 yoe (some of that at a boutique firm before.) May join big D as an SC - I don’t want to do an mba and feel like I’m plateauing in my current job. I’d like to use Deloitte as a platform to transition to a more interesting financial services environment or pivot away from this industry after 1-2 years. Offer would be in operations transformation. Any reason this is a bad plan or unrealistic?

To be clear I want to add value at D, but don’t see myself on partner track. I do see value in it as an experience and a brand on my resume.

That plan seems fine. You are not the first person to use 2 years in consulting as a way to switch to something else. Do you actually have an offer right now? Getting in may be hard for obvious reasons.

Other considerations: Will you be able to focus on the industry you want? They might recruit you into the ops transformation practice, but if they stick you in oil/gas ops transformation work, then what happens? Be sure to investigate if the team you're interested in does a lot of the work you want to do. For example, if you want to do option evaluation vs change management during a transformation, that may mean you should work in a different practice.

Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.
