Deloitte folks… offer received GPS PDM Specialist $140k base salary in technical cyber with 4-5 yrs exp., 4 cyber certs and security clearance in HCOL a good start? What are the salary projections after being specialist? Also is PDM a good place to start if you don’t want to do BD work? Might look to leave back to defense or hopefully pivot to FAANG after a year. Thank you all!

Agree with others, PDM is great for WLB and job security (usually very long lasting contracts). If you build client relationships and become essential then easy to renegotiate comp and get approvals to move to LCOL city. $140k for Specialist + yearly bonus is pretty great. In summary great stepping stone opportunity to add the brand and experience to your resume.

For short term should be good as a stepping stone. Be aware though that PDM has MUCH stricter rules relating to staffing since you are hired for certain projects. I believe you can only be unstaffed for like 2 weeks or something like that (Other Deloitte folks correct me if that is wrong).

PDM is great for short term situations like you describe. Raises and promotions are definitely available, but not as rapidly as you would expect in other consulting environments. Not an issue if you’re leaving in a year!

Hello Fishes,

I have 2 offers in hand currently -
1. CGI - 25LPA +1L JB
2. Neev systems - 23LPA (5%VP)

Neev systems is ready to negotiate it with CGI. And both companies have their own benefits.

Neev's hike is good compared to CGI(almost double) & CGI have some additional perks like cab facility, Creche allowance, mobile, internet bills reimbursements and additional 5% shares.

Both might have similar WLB (12-9pm).

My DOJ is tomorrow, unable to decide between them. Pls help me!!
