Feeling slightly annoyed with my past self. Applied/started at Deloitte mid-2021. I didn’t know the level difference so I applied for SA role. Now that I’m in the firm, I feel fully qualified/equipped for at least SS. Don’t really want to stick for +4yrs for SSS but also genuinely enjoy D.

Same here. The recruiter somehow managed to convince me to go for SS rather than SSS. Well, planning to stay here for a year or two.

Deloitte always tries to hire people one level below like many other companies. The only way to move up is to showcase your leadership that you are performing at next level and have them back you up for promotion! most people are in the same boat.

Honest question - would you have been able to navigate the firm and have the footing and comfort you do now coming it at that higher level? I know for a fact I overestimated myself coming in. Happy they leveled me down for some growth as I think it made me a stranger manager.

I’m a 7th year associate. I’ve practiced L&E my entire career in big law for large multi-national companies. I like my job, but I’m burned out. I have two kids under two and will, in all likelihood, go for gold and make it three under three to be done. I’m over traveling. I’m over traveling for trials. I’m over litigation in general. I want to switch sides of the v and open my own firm. I’m digging into how feasible this would be for me. Does anyone have any good resources? Books, podcasts, etc

For those who moved from a client serving role to an internal role in public accounting while at a fairly high level (experienced manager or senior manager), did you take a pay cut or does your pay stay flat when you transition with minimal increases in subsequent years?

Since I am a lateral entry, I think promotion to Engr III also would take a lot of time.

Also can you please let me know the current designation hierarchy in VDSI?
