Seems like a good bet if you're still a young assistant. How good are you with data? How good are you at understanding data and telling a story? Are you good at detecting a problem if you notice something wrong with a report?

When hiring analysts, I look for curiosity, humility, and creativity. Be brave enough to ask dumb questions when things don't look right, and you'll be fine.

Make sure you have the education. If you don’t it will become problematic as you rise in the ranks. Senior clients want to see advanced degrees.

When hiring analysts, I look for innate quantitive ability, attention to detail, and curiosity. these are things that can’t be taught. (I also agree with creativity above)

You also want to step back and look at the bigger brand picture. Planning is more execution focussed.

By planning do you mean a media strategist or brand/account planning?

@Strategist1 Media. Thanks guys, this is all good feedback!

Hey all! I have an interview with
Deloitte in Regulatory Risk and more precisely in their Investment Management Services team. I would like to know if anyone
knows what the job entails exactly. I keep hearing about people "fooled" into taking a job in risk advisory thinking it'll really be advisory while they only end up doing IT and Audit support (which I do not want to do).
Is it the case here?
Thanks!

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...

So far, I have heard:

- July but with salary effective from April (paid as arrears in July). Something similar for June as well.
