How does promotion work in PDM? Do we have to request it to our coach and then he prepares a case or they just give it to you based on performance/ratings/utilization.
I am tech select/tpp pdm project delivery senior analyst , completed 3 years in firm.

Since I am not getting calls because of notice period can Capgemini.release me in 30 days if i don't have much work in project?

Maybe I’m just realizing I’m lazy… but do y’all ever get assigned an actual, hard research or drafting project and realize you don’t like the effort? Like plz let me go back to doc review.

SM asked us to shifted client billing hours to non-chargeable code... Will significantly impact utilization... Sucks

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?

You are in a global client. Client team with 1000 people. How would you stand out?

Looking for advice on business trips. My boss kindly asked me if I want to go meet a client out of state along with business folks. It will be my first visit to a client. What do you think are the benefits of these trips? I’m fairly new in my career and in-house so would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!

Any ZScaler Commercial AEs here?

Just got a call about a 96k base:
/160k OTE role out of Plano TX

I’m intrigued but I want to know 2 things:
1. Culture/WLB - how is it?
2. Realistic market opportunity/opportunity to crush quota (obv dependent on many things)

Background: Currently making 95k/160k OTE at a boutique research and consulting firm. I’m happy but we’re extremely flat with little to no opp for promotion in the next 2+ years.

Hi guys, it's been 4 weeks since i joined GDS , I was assigned a POC task, in which I worked for a few days but now its on hold.

Could someone help me know what's avg bench time or how to get projects here, who should I contact(other then counsellor) or if there's any internal portal to apply for open positions in a project?

Thanks

How early is too early to ask for a raise?

How much of a pay cut are you willing to take to (hopefully) re-find purpose in your job?

My Context: work in tech, company has HQ in the Bay but I live in Canada. Single, no kids, 1 mortgage, no debts.

TC: ~200k USD (60% base / 40% equity). I put very low effort, completely disengaged and unmotivated, with anxiety building up. Don’t like the company, but very few companies can match where I live

I’m being offered ~110k to work more, better title, fun project and company

What’s your story?

What is the most memorable thing a client has ever said to you?

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

Hello Fishes and Shark, For Murex roles is it better to go for foreign banks as a BA or PWC as BA?
Honest opinions would matter a lot. Thanks.

CCTC: 17
YOE: 8.3

Got 2 offers:
Lucidworks - 33
Boeing - 35(Verbal offer after countered them with lucidworks offer).

Now with freshworks, last round is pending.
Let me know what would be better.

From interview perspective, I enjoyed lucidworks interview as the interviews taken by quality people compared to other two companies. But it is a startup.

Btw, I have been interviewed for 6 rounds in Citrix and waiting to hear from them.

Partners, when you identified a minor error from a deliverable that was reviewed by SA and manager. Do you mostly get upset/disappointed at the manager, SA or the associate?

I’m sure this bowl can help me.
Does anyone remember flat, round water bottles from the early 1990s? Like for school kids? They had some kind of ice pack that you would freeze and it kept your water cool. And then you would squeeze it to drink?
I think they came in neon colors?
All the cool kids had one. Not me though 😏.

Is PDM ever going to be less crappy?

Do PDM analysts get performance year end bonuses and AIP?

My project client location in Denver started in person mandatory days. Few of colleagues started to go there. I’m confused as I was hired as PDM and I live in east coast and project is in west coast. My leadership is not forcing me anything and they left it to us but I don’t want to lose job because I’m not traveling. Any suggestions?

What’s the average annual hike in PDM model?

Did anyone else need to get PPMD Approval to participate in Firm Initiatives/Contribution activities? Just emailed my resource manager to get involved and she said I had to get approval first.

What are the requirements to promote from analyst to senior analyst? I’ve been with Deloitte for two years now and am wondering how I go about making myself promotable. I don’t have a CPA, CFE, etc. Is one of those required?

How many PDMers in here are happy to be PDM?

How many wish they were core/traditional?

On average, does PDM work less hours per week than Traditional?

Have any PDMs gone to DU? I know it’s not standard, but have any exceptions been made?

Welcoming anyone from Project Delivery or who would like to learn more about the PDM track. Spread the word.

During initial onboarding with the firm, does the first week or so count towards utilization or is there somewhat of a grace period?

What’s the average project delivery specialist compensation in GPS like?

Most of the folks in PDM received no adjustments is it same on other projects too

Do employees on the PDM path also get a new laptop every two years or is that just traditional? Or is it a complete myth?

It's day 2 for me at Deloitte (PDM) , just received my laptop yesterday , completed a few of the trainings and created/uploaded my resume. Coach and onboarding advisor have not been assigned yet. When do I get assigned to a project? What does that process look like ? How long does this orientation go on for ? And do I have to transfer all my stocks from robinhood to one of their approved brokerages?

For your resume and LinkedIn, do you prefer to use ‘Project Delivery Specialist/Manager’ or a more recognizable title, such as ‘Project Manager’ or ‘Program Manager’

Out of curiosity, former Deloitte PDM employees—- has being in PDM affected your ability to get out and find better opportunities?

Recently joined the firm as a project delivery specialist. During recruiting, the team harped on how great my background was and how much a good fit I would be for the firm/project...

Well, I was on an onboarding call and they were talking about staffing and projects. The presenter said to reach out to them if you don’t think your project is a good fit. In his words “you were hired into the firm, not a specific project. We see you here long term... With the exception of PDM model” 😅
Cont.

I have a Deloitte PDM offer. I’ve read about the positives/negatives and I’m so torn. When my recruiter says I’ll have “144 hours” of PTO (18 days), will I definitely still run into the utilization trap of not being able to take it? Are all projects 40-42 hr weekly caps? Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance
