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.
