I am a graduating student who just got offered 65k for a solution analyst role at Deloitte USDC (Data Engineering Focus). From reading previous posts it seems to be a lot of negative thoughts surrounding the USDC, but straight out of college is this a good opportunity?
I'm looking to gain as much experience as possible out of college in an IT role and wondering what exit opportunities may be in place a year or two down the road if there is little/slow progression.
Any Advice?

Agree with SVP that 3 would need to be an absolute rockstar and potentially paired with some attrition creating opportunity. But I think 5 - 6 is average.
Too little. 1-2 yrs assistant planner, 1-3 planner/sr planner, 1-2 supervisor. I’d say 4-7 years experience minimum
I would say 6+ depending on experience.
For a rockstar I could see that, but more realistically I’d think 5ish for your average - 1 as an associate/assistant, 1-1.5 as a planner/senior associate, 2-3 as a sup/manager. (speaking for strategy & investment)
I got there in 4 years. But I feel like I was little lucky with the people I had in my corner advocating for me. Media was also my second career path so I was a 26yo associate to start.
Too early and too young
Depends on the company. Some companies it’s 3, some it’s 7. Depends on the title structure, responsibility, LOB…
Classic path I’ve seen is
1 year assistant
1 year planner
1 year senior planner
2 years supervisor/manager
Then AD… but again some companies will have different titles much earlier
It completely depends on how good they are. I was an AD at year four. I’ve absolutely crushed it my last year, so now at year five my boss wants to make me a director. If someone is talented, don’t look at years on paper.
It took me 4.5 years from starting at entry level on the agency-side to get to AD level. I had programmatic and social experience under my belt which helped me stand out a little more.
Yep thanks all! Thing about this person is that she has only 3 years of programmatic experience doesn’t have years of managing and leading
She’s been a manager for a year-ish and got promoted because they didn’t want to lose her
