Deloitte is actually calling my references for a background check. Never had that happen before lol, is that normal for them or a sign that they might’ve found something they want to investigate further?

It’s normal - they did for mine also

Most professional jobs will call references

like

What do they usually ask from reference?

I agree. It’s normal. They will call. You shouldn’t be worked about anything.

What role did you get an offer for?

Can’t they just verify employment through tax or anything?

I’m sure they can. I doubt they Willa frugally call references. Reason being is they might be a long tedious task.

Totally normal. It’s called due diligence.

Did they ask for references? I haven't given references nor been asked for them in my last few jobs. They usually do a background check though.

Same here. I don’t think my Deloitte background check thing asked for reference contacts

Yeah their background check is pretty thorough.

I've become really jaded about consulting.

I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
