Found out we have the opportunity to actually get certifications such as green/black belt six sigma, PMP, Agile, etc. Do big 4 firms have this as well?

P1 - which certification would that be ?

@D4, perhaps in some service lines, but definitely not required for all.

Are these opportunities in a structured program with promotion to next consulting level as well?

For some roles, you have to get it.

@D2- "Milking Staff 101"

D3 - I meant besides the obvious 😎

Deloitte also needs a certification to become a Manager. I know people who have taken a Deloitte sponsored/provided "boot camp" for a few certifications.

You do not need a certification to make any rank at EY in PI. The only exception is you need a CPA to be a partner -- you're simply a Principal without one instead

^ For all of Deloitte Advisory. Don't know about Deloitte Consulting, Digital, etc.

Can someone please explain to me how to get the six sigma certs?! Doesn't appear to be one set course

@D4 That makes sense. I'm in Consulting and generally it's not required.

@IBM OP: but is it easy to get the firm to sponsor this? I had spoken to my BPM once and was told I need to create a business case for it, based on requirements for the project I was working on then. Only then would they approve. And this is not even applicable to all certifications. Only a select few.

@ibm1 way easier than that. Not sure on your band level, but b7 are offered an opportunity into TLDP. Simply pass 2 rounds of interview after your app and then you are required to be certified before you promote to b8

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs
