I am a recent hire as a “IT specialist” and I’m just doing IT Audits. To be fair I was an intern prior and knew what I would be doing, but nevertheless I’m 3 months in now full time and I realize I don’t want to get stuck in an IT compliance role my whole career. I’m interested in consulting, how hard would it be move sideways in the company to a consulting role, given that this is my only experience? I want a chance at career outside of compliance and I can’t see that happening with this role.

That makes sense and this has been helpful. I’m gonna talk to my coach and see what options are really out there for my specific situation. Thanks for your advice!

First, would suggest to think bigger and understand the business value that you are adding by doing audits and compliance. All consultants have that approach - they explain everything in terms of business value. I am still working towards that approach.

Hard to move to consulting within Deloitte bc imagine most folks in IT audit also want to move to consulting like you. Easier to apply to other consulting firms

It's a long shot. Can be tough for those with no consulting or similar background. But there's no harm in trying.

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
