How fast you can get out of said role

I’m not fully committed yet, so please tell me more

Get ready to write a 75 page word document on what the roles of a scrum master and agile team is.... I would stay far far away

SC1: If you’re working for Deloitte and you’re joining the account which I think you’re joining, you’re going to be working with some great Agile practitioners.

I’m currently on the commercial side, and while the work is faster pace, the Agile practices are nearly non-existent.

its actually good if you are at staff or senior level as it will give you lot of visibility to client leadership and ey engagement leadership. it worked out well for me in the past. it is basically all the credit and none of the blame role if you play it right ;)
