I have a technical background, and leaned into that a bit for the interviews for where I am now (current role is not considered primarily technical), but I believe my ability to collaborate, critically assess and solve problems, project management experience, and documentation experience were strong skills to bring to the table. Being a great verbal and written communicator is also helpful. In general, there's a lot that you likely can bring to the table in terms of soft skills and transferrable skills, and being able to speak to them during an interview and highlight them in your resume can help.

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
