I'll reiterate what SC1 and D1 said...I came into Deloitte in a similar scenario to what you're describing, and I definitely suffered my first year. I'm on track now for the next level but it took a lot of work to overcome the reputation of my first year. You have to choose between making more money but struggling up front, or coming in and delivering as an all star right away
In HC. HC people are close, but there are distinct cultures across the offices. Erica Volini is a tremendous leader of the practice. She’s taken a lot of actions to really propel us past the marketplace, even when we’re constantly viewed #1 in HC.
I don’t believe it’s wise to pursue manager here. The manager level is pretty rigorous, regardless of offering. SC is a great role to demonstrate what you know and get your feelers of the company.
I am a manager and they wanted to bring me in as a senior consultant. I think the promo would be difficult
Go for a high comp senior to get used to the culture before having to lead people.
I would much rather come in a firm as a SC at the top of a band, than a manager way at the bottom.
What do you consider a high conk senior for NYC? No MBA, but 9 years of experience?
Echoing what D1 and D2 said. I took a step down from industry and came in at the top of the band but had a great mentor bring me in and advise about coming in at SC. The first year or so was rough but I survived and was rated high. You manage other staff at the SC level here but don’t have sales targets, which you do at Manager. D is very network heavy so better to spend your first year or two networking and getting to know those in the practice that you can then bring with you when you sell work
EY1: Did you go for it?
Thank you all for the advice. Appreciate it.
D2: did you come in as SC or M?
I came in as a SC. I had almost three years working experience total, and had just been promoted to SC at another consulting firm which doesn't have the Analyst level, so I essentially skipped a level.
PwC1: not at that point yet. Don't think it would be more than 10% jump as I'm already pretty high at the SC level
SC range is somewhere around 100-150k right now. I believe manager is something like 120-200k so there is a lot of overlap.
Kpmg: unfortunately not OD. It's M&A
You can still do OD work within M&A. Push for it if that is where your interests are.
D3: thanks. What's the culture within HC? Is payoff a norm? Is it very competitive internally?
