Hi there, I’ve been told that Deloitte (London, UK) is going to make me an offer but haven’t heard back and it’s been over two weeks. The recruiter mentioned it would be around the “m2 grade”. Any idea what this pay range is? … I have 3 YOE working in NHS finance and have applied for a position in Risk Advisory, public sector. Curious what life at Deloitte is like? Does a work life balance exist?

I wouldn't if they were actually used properly. As is, yes. So much. My colleagues don't seem to understand that if every single request is urgent, nothing is. It feels very "Boy Who Cried Wolf".
Exactly! Having seemingly everything come across my inbox with a priority tag makes it impossible for me to know at a glance which issues I should be addressing first. I thought priority flagging was a relatively straightforward concept, but my work experience has taught me otherwise. Someday they'll learn...
Yep. Every “ASAP” email feels like someone else’s poor planning just became my emergency. And half the time, it wasn’t urgent at all. They just didn’t want to wait. At this point, I treat “urgent” as a suggestion, not a command.
And it gets even worse when I reply back asking for additional context and they take hours to reply to me! Couldn’t have been that urgent then.
