First project ever at Deloitte. Large clusterfuck of a healthcare implementation. No one to teach me or train me, it’s super overwhelming. They want me here til Summer.

Is this normal?

Starting to feel like I got the project so one else wanted. Seems like the other Consultants / BTAs that started with me are simply shadowing people and formatting decks.
Any advice?

You sound like my younger brother when he first joined D as a BTA. He was lucky enough to find a buddy who helped him through things and do work beyond formatting decks. Is there anyone who could be a potential buddy in your team (someone who won’t sabotage you)?

That’s the job at that level.. shadow and fix decks. Find a SC or M that will help you and answer your questions/show you a thing or two. It’s ultimately up to you to find a good project and mentor. It’s also on you to ask questions, attend/do trainings, network, Etc.

Agree with D1. Experienced similar situation when I joined. Try to find someone to shadow and learn from. Find a mentor, too and use your network. The project I was on had a lot of folks staffed- all levels. I started taking on small things to build my confidence and comfort level.

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?
