Hello! I was recently given an offer for Deloitte's Application and Program Analyst role. However, my interests are more in line with the Strategy arm of Deloitte and less so tech. Would it be difficult to internally transfer to Strategy? Any tips on making the transition? Or should I start at a smaller boutique for management consulting then lateral to Deloitte Strategy? Thanks for the help!

Theoretically APA’s can work on Strategy engagements, your position isn’t as important as your Offering Portfolio in Deloitte. Strategy engagements are housed in S&A and C&M, so if you were staffed in these OP’s you’d have relative ease doing that. However, most APA’s end up aligned to Oracle and SAP which is where the real hurdle comes into play. A lot of people in these practices want to switch practices and in order to switch you need to network a bunch and get on a strategy engagement/initiative. If you do really well and prove yourself you need to present the business case for the switch and get support from your practice lead and a partner from the practice you’re switching to. Is it possible? Of course. Are you far more likely to be stuck on a year long implementation? Yes

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?
