Does Deloitte’s cyber business model allow one to work across many faucets of cyber projects? I know some firms only allow one to work in the area they were hired for? Trying to get experience

Speaking for the Dutch practice (I realize you are probably US-based): If you're at the lower levels (C or SC) it's very easy to move around domains or combine different types of projects. More specialism is expected later

In practice it depends on the projects available and the people you connect with, but if you make sure the right people can find you it's not hard at all.

I was staffed at one client for 2.5 years at EY, and currently at a client for a year with another two years of signed work. Cyber projects can definitely be long term...

Curious what type of project those are? Staff Aug? Managed Service?

Across multiple types of cyber projects across multiple domains within cyber

Their cyber practice is much larger than EYs so I’m guessing they want specialists vs. generalists

They have more people in each cyber group and normally do not cross but it can happen. Came from Deloitte.

Well I know at EY we don’t get that luxury to bounce around other domains - or at least that was my understanding.

That's true op. But you can talk to different group partner and move across. I have seen few people who have done that.

True. But in terms of fluidity - how easy it would be - trying to gauge that at D vs EY

I haven't worked at D. Sorry.

I’m in advisory, yes. Just want to work outside of my speciality to gain a more holistic understanding. I like diversity. Don’t think EY can do that with their business model?

KPMG is pretty cross functional tbh

We look for people based on their skills / knowledge as opposed to their alignment

In my experience at Deloitte, the cyber business model and the way projects are sold don’t really allow for this. There are other ways of doing this (practice development, cross-project gigs) but they are always second priority to your primary client project(s). I suppose you can be more flexible and do more of what you want at SM and above levels

In my experience I've switched between different groups in cyber. It's a matter of voicing what you want without upsetting people. Remember that it's not all about you getting to do what you want but more so where you add value to the firm.

With that said, cyber projects are not terribly long so have conversations with your SM/M about exploring other opportunities. If they're a good manager they'll understand and if not then that's more of a reason to get off that project!

100% Deloitte let's you move across all the domains you want to get involved in and grow your skills

I just logged in for open enrollment and see that my benefit costs are increasing quite a bit. Family of 4 - medical/dental/vision will be about $345/pay period plus whatever I contribute to my HSA. Is this the norm now or is this way too much? We are also on an income based rate plan and I recently crossed into the bottom of the most expensive tier so it’s an even bigger hit over the normal YoY increase.
