I’m at Deloitte as SSS and my team is not doing best practice work. Using git, merge requests, test cases, code validation…Also my managers are not technical. I have been doing poorly on interviews because I lack the basic software engineering mindset and best practices and I’ve also never had a technical boss and my current boss isn’t technical. How do I fix this? Do I move to a product function at D? Do I go for a junior position at a startup? Do I teach myself all of these unknown processes?

Go to a more sophisticated shop (consulting, product, industry or otherwise). Things like git, testing, code review, etc aren't valued in consulting.

I think it stems from poor scoping and not owning the solution long term. Additionally, having non-technical managers means that they don't understand the importance of these activities.

I forced my team to do this stuff when I was at big4 but it was a hassle. Teams aren't used to doing it. I think you do your team a disservice if you don't force them to because they aren't very useful outside consulting =]

Talk to others on your account and see if there's interest in advancing the tools in use. Then you can use time on the job getting more familiar with them.

There's also support at D for training. Take time off to enroll in training and bill it to CED, as long as you get it cleared by mgmt. Ideally it's aligned to your current account, just pick say the cloud provider closest to your account. Azure has a lot of momentum in gov work.

So is there git training at D?

If you are a software engineer, D is wrong place .. leave to all those tech firms hiring for your talent and you can always move in at a higher level to big4 or move onto top 10 mba .. don’t waste your time here, with power pointers …
