I’m shocked they’d bring you in at the level. Definitely push for M at MINIMUM
15 years? SM.
Deloitte loves to bring people in at a lower level so they can "learn the Deloitte way". I've seen people with a similar profile come in as an SC but they usually have zero consulting experience. I would push for the Manager level so you are actually managing teams and projects, and not focused on execution only.
To answer your other questions, I like it here. You have a lot of agency to shape your career path through your network and firm initiatives. We do tend to throw experienced hires in the deep end and expect you to figure it out- so find friends early who can help.
Promotion and pay are really variable, and generally require senior leadership support to get the good ones.
You’re a director currently? I would push for minimum SC if not M or SM
FWIW…I was an M at Deloitte, but enjoyed my time as an SC more
I hired for consultants for a long time. I realize you may want to take a step back, but I can tell you that consulting at Deloitte at that level is far different than what you’re used to. My only advice as a recruiter is think really hard about the change in day to day responsibilities and if it’s something you’re going to enjoy and fit into, because there’s really no changing the dynamic of the role once you’re in it. It’s very structured. Many of the folks I hired in this space that had around your years of experience and wanted to try the role for the same reasons did not last long. Although I can understand how the other comments came off as exclusionary, they are correct in encouraging you to go for at least a Management position in consulting if you’re doing a career switch. You can absolutely get in at that level without prior consulting experience.
With15 of experience you target should be SM. Manager at the very least. If your company is already unstable this may not matter as much but as with other consulting companies it would be last in, first out.
With 11+yr of core HR (internal talent strategy and change) person, I was brought at C level because i didn’t had direct client experience!! My bad that I was on a lookout for job (Covid times) thus accepted the role and didn’t pushed for SC! And now I feel frustrated every day, and probably not my 100% - D is a good name on resume but the approach of under assessing really hurts!
OP - fight for the right level! People on these posts are absolutely right!
Coming in as M is a steep learning curve with expectations hard to meet. See about pushing the salary cap, do the SC role or you’ll be hard pressed to make sales # and lead engagements. Or have a very strong leader sponsor.
They're not a safe leaving environment and hiring for OCM specifically is new for them so be sure to line up some other options because you'd be the first to go in their routine fall & spring layoffs.
Well I wasn’t asking either, just informing that you were wrong on both accounts above.
Did you secure the offer OP?
Consultant. Sent the recruiter on message Monday politely requesting an update. Hope to hear back soon.
