Hi all! I am feeling stuck in my job as a first year in audit. I expressed that I am not interested in audit and want to consider switching service lines to my coach but nothing happened. I have been on the same client since I started and do not see myself rolling off of it in the near future. How can I get to consulting or advisory from audit? My background is in accounting and finance. I want to stay at Deloitte but am not getting that help I need to transfer. Please advice me on what to do.

If you want to transfer, it’s up to you to make it happen. It takes some elbow grease. Networking with the team you want to join and letting the right people know of your intent. I agree it’s probably easier to transfer externally. Simply asking your coach usually isn’t enough, esp rn since teams are understaffed, your coach/ partner are not going to bend over backwards to help you leave the team.

Jump to other firm. It’s better to exit now because the market is hot.

I just recently went through the process myself and I agree with D1, it’s up to you to make it happen. I reached out to a partner in the service line I wanted to get into and expressed interest in the work that they do. I told them my background, the skills I have and why I wanted to transfer. I asked for tips on skills and certifications that will help me break in. You have to know where you want to go just saying advisory or consulting is too broad. Find out where you want to be is step 1. Otherwise you could find yourself in another situation where you feel stuck in what you are doing. Step 2 is start networking. The more you do the easier it will be to transfer especially the more skills you lack that relate to the area you want to be in. Good luck.

I would be more firm in what you want and mention your consideration with recruiting outside of the firm. I kept getting my transferred pushed, did this and within a month I was transferred.

Hey all! I have recently moved to a full time position wfh as a trial manager. It has been a struggle wfh so I am reconsidering my options. What positions are out there possible for transition for on site, except CRA?

What happens if I decide to take a full scope or be willing but after I join the company or project I get cold feet and decide not to? Do I just get let go or have dire consequences? I am being pushed by recruiter to get a FS but I am not sure. The backlog is huge though so maybe I throw the dice and learn a lot then leave before I need to if at that point I am not 100% in it?

Thanks
