Hi Fishes,

I have received an offer from Delloitte USI for Banglore location and Senior consultant role. I am very excited, but almost every second review that i come across says, constant 11 -12 hours slogging everyday. Is it really true? If not, then how much one on an avg. spends on busy and normal days?

Earlier I was with Deloitte USI Bangalore. I had friends in most of the service lines of Deloitte. Can tell you based on mine and my friend's experience, yes Deloitte extracts lot of work from folks. In the name of Firm initiatives (FI) and Milestone year they add unnecessary complications. For senior consultants there would be lot of expectations, you will find people giving up their entire life to impress Senior managers and Managing Directors.

Beyond your day to day work, you need to work on FIs and beyond that everyone should know you and above that you need to have good support from US stakeholders. At the end comes USI stakeholders ( Manager, S. Manager and Managing Directors across whole USI ). Everyone is very important to manage.

Now decision is yours, if you want to be in such environment which is highly rewarding ( if you can create a brand for yourself) then go for it. Else take any other offer

Thanks for your detailed information.
Just one query, if I may, my job would revolve around software development, not on business consultancies.
So, it's Senior technical consultant to be specific.
Now, would the expected work load would be same?

Weekends too ,😂

funny

Well OP mentioned "everyday" anyway hahah

Absolutely true for major part of the year.

On an average yes! And at times you end up working 14-15 hours as well.

Don’t worry you will get used to it 😉

YOE - 6.5 years
Don't know about service line as of yet.

With 6.5 YOE you are probably SC-1 (senior consultant first year) and your next promotion would be 4 year from now. The pay in Deloitte might be rewarding, however the amount of work and the enormity of slogging you would have to do is way higher. The technology in most of the service line is outdated (other than DD). I would suggest go for cross offers.

Thanks for all your information guys.
However, one thing I think i should've mentioned before is I am from software development background, and not from pure consulting.
Only on paper the role is Sr. Consultant.
Don't know if it makes any difference.

Nope ..it's same am also SC ...what has been mentioned above is 100 correct
