I have an offer for an SC role doing tech implementation at Deloitte. I’m a bit unsure if I should accept because I’ve only been building my technical skills for a little over 1.5 years but have another 5.5 years of unrelated consulting experience. I’ve talked to several people and it seems pretty split with some saying it’s not a huge deal and others saying it’d be much more of a grind. Anyone been in a similar position before? How’d it go?

How in the hell did you get an offer as a SC with 1.5yoe of directly related tech skills?!! As a SC you’re going to be expected to lead work streams and be a SME in your tech implementations especially when engaging with a client.

Well I'd expect an SC to lead a workstream actually. Though plenty of SCs aren't - though those are, in my experience, ones on smaller projects or filling individual contributor highly technical roles.

I'm almost in the same boat. There are people at the firm who will help you. I was staffed before I even started. I definitely work more now than I would like, but that is part of the learning curve.

If it makes you feel better, I got hired into Deloitte as an M with 0 consulting experience and no MBA. I won’t like, the first 8 months were touch and go, and I looked to leave 3 times. I really wanted to give it a shot and stuck with it. I’ve been here almost 3.5 years now and love what I do. Don’t let the imposter syndrome take over. You clearly have a skill Deloitte wanted and make sure you harness that to your advantage. Surround yourself with smart people and be willing to learn from them. Tech skills you can polish on nights and weekends, so don’t be too worried about that. Take the offer!

Honestly, this may sound corny, but finding passion in what I do kept me from leaving. This has now turned into a big benefit in my career as I built my network.

Hi Fishes,

How is the
Samsung SSIR memory team? I'm about to get the offer this week for a firmware validation specialist role. Are they flexible to give WFH?

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!
