Hi there, I have 3.5 YOE working for NHS Finance. I applied to Deloitte Risk Advisory, Public Sector (London, UK) and was successful. Waiting to hear back with package offer but it’s been over 2 weeks - was told they may offer M2 grade, any ideas what this is?
I’m also interviewing for Senior consultant role also at Deloitte. How much would this typically pay?
Torn whether to stay within NHS as I will be getting an internal promotion or move to Deloitte.
What’s the WLB like? Good job security?

56 year old here, my entire career has been UX/UI and (now) digital strategy work. If you want to pursue it and it interests you, by all means go for it! That said, it is very competitive right now, esp. at the entry level. But, try to turn your age and experience into a super power! With Boomers in full retirement as a generation, and Gen X well into middle age, I think if you take a UX boot camp of some kind and look into accessibility/a11y related certifications, industries with large older user populations - healthcare, finance, etc. could really value someone with an older perspective. I often find myself surrounded by "young guns" who tend to design for themselves first and what's trendy. I often am able to anchor them to a realistic sense of how older people engage with technology, what they need vs. what frustrates them, etc. Good luck to you!
Thanks for your encouragement, and I am currently taking the Google UX design course!
