I left Deloitte after 5 years for a lateral move and hefty pay raise as a M4. Unfortunately was just laid off after 15 months and thinking of Boomeranging back. How do I best negotiate to come back as SM and what should I say is my reason for wanting to come back? Has anyone done it and can share some insight about the process?

I feel like unless you have a full pipeline of work or really strong relationships that could lead to winning work, you’ll be brought back as an M. I’m definitely not the authority though. Just from what I’ve seen, the newer hire SMs are coming with their pipeline and a ton of BD experience.

In any case I’d reach out to your Deloitte network and previous leadership directly and see what they think. They’ll know better than fishbowl!

You waited until you were unemployed to try to return to the firm. Your motive will be obvious: unemployment. So you're going to need to supplement it, not hide it.

They will find out in the background check that you are laid off so there is no way around that. Honestly the ball is in their court, unless you have clients and work that will follow you to Deloitte

They definitely check employment history. I had an internship that I forgot about and it got flagged in my background check. Employers may do a different type of background than criminal history

Why were you laid off?
