I’m a campus hire- on day 24 at Deloitte. Should I be concerned I’m not staffed? I have nothing to do but certification and learning. It’s getting a bit old. And my RM doesn’t respond to my chats or meetings.

When I was a new campus hire I didn’t get put onto a project until two months in. And then I had to wait to get badged.
If you’re worried about utilization: don’t be. First year it’s totally normal and as long as you have a good story it’s fine.
If you’re bored: take up certifications and/or network. Ask your coach for a warm intro to people within your portfolio.
My suggestion: enjoy the time on the bench getting paid to play video games. You’ll be staffed soon enough.
All the best!

I was in the same boat when I first started. At the time, it felt like I had somehow slipped through the cracks. Though my advice now would be…enjoy it. Keep working on the certifications and grow your skill set. Projects will come, but time to develop skills may not. The free, encouraged training is arguably the biggest perk of Deloitte.

I would keep pushing on your RM and communicate with your Coach or OBA about the lack of response. At least to show that you’re doing everything on your end.

But when I started last July, I had like 5 weeks on the bench to start. Didn’t negatively impact my year end stuff, especially if you just keep account of what trainings you’ve done

Nah don't stress it.

I wasn't staffed for 1 month an a half when I was brand new. In retrospect I would have enjoyed it much more.

What you should do if definitely reach out to people that work on projects you may be interested on. Staffit and the other staffing app are garbage. Personal connections will go a long way :)

Hi guys, I have a somewhat different question this time. Background: I have >8YOE and earn >100k€ in Europe and have been doing a Masters in Management next to working full time; and I'm almost done; However I failed an exam thrice (each time on the exam date I had important projects to run) now I need to find an MBA/MSC programme where I can transfer a lot of my already earned credits, any ideas here guys? Or should I just leave it- It was basically the last exam before starting my thesis..

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!
