I am a third year AP at IBM in LATAM and was an MD for 2 years at a Big 4 in the same region, with a total of 25+YOE, a headhunter interviewed me to take an MD position to start and lead a business line at Deloitte in APAC, I am clear about pros and cons, my ultimate professional goal is to become Partner no matter where, but I see so much negative comments about Deloitte, I am not even sure if it is worth considering, any thoughts or insights about Deloitte at this level ?

I’m not sure the comments on here are indicative of the experience at Deloitte in APAC. Also feel like coming in as an MD is very different, since you’re at a level that comes with power and influence.

I was at Deloitte in the US for 3 years. Came in as an SC and was promoted to an M. The most frustrating experience was being at a level where I couldn’t make an impact on the culture beyond the project team. It’s frustrating to see the problems, and not be able to do anything to fix them, or really even get anyone at the higher levels to listen.

Good luck on your decision! I hope everything works out for you!

Would it still make sense to even make partner at 45+ yo??

I thought the buy-in was around $300k? Never heard of it be $1M.

Lol what do you expect from an anonymous app? The whole point of this app is to trash talk bluntly and express opinions without any consequences. Don’t take these complaints that seriously nor generalize one’s experience across all “business lines” world wide. If you have an actual job offer and it’s decent, take it. In US, MD is the same level as Partner (with less equity) so not sure how you’d transition from MD to Partner, that’s very unlikely at least here so make sure you clarify that.

Hi Deloitte 2, O come from a Big 4 (not Deloitte) where globally all Partners (globally) come from the MD position, that is what I would expect from Deloitte.

Deloitte in APAC would be very different. HK/Singapore all big 4 are probably equally bad. My friends work at Deloitte China and they actually love it there.

Senior/Consultant level. They left D pretty early for (much) better jobs but they loved their time there

Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%

What’s up with this trend of hiring managers rejecting developers who don’t have FAANG experience on their resume? People in consulting companies also work for clients who handle high traffic and complex architectures. Also, not everyone wants to work at FAANG companies due to moral issues that these big tech companies ignore and blatantly misuse personal data and privacy.

People who work in banking, and especially in France, have you ever been badly treated by your colleagues with an attitude as if you’re not even worth a piece of sh** ?

I don’t know if it’s because people in the banks are like this or if it’s because french people are rude. But the way my colleagues behave (fortunately, just some of them, not all) would be considered extremely impolite and uneducated in Asia (where I’m from). Would love to hear some of your opinions about this!

My company was acquired last year & new terrritoy assignments were made Jan 1st. The old AEs had until the end of Jan to close out deals they were working to receive 100% commissions & quota relief. The new AE taking over received 50% comm if the deals closed in Jan. After Feb 1st, the new AE taking on the account received 100% comm and the old AE received nothing. The two deals I had worked for months and in procurement Feb 1 close last week at 445k & $399k. $60+k comm to new AE - $0 to me. 😩
