My final round with Deloitte for UK Tech Consulting Manager position soon. Strangely it’s not a PMD round as it usually is for other Big4/tech consulting firms.
1. Can anyone tell me if they’ve been through the whole process without speaking to PMD? (First round Sr Manager, second Case Interview by a manager and third again by a manager) 2. What is a typical salary to expect? I was asked in screening but kept it vague (e.g can discuss later bla bla). I was hoping 75-80 (ridiculous?)
Hi all, Currently I am 1.6yrs experienced.I had completed my interview with HCL Technologies along with HR discussion around 1st week of July.On 20th July I received an email from HR saying I need to wait for 3 more weeks to get the offer letter.

Yes, I was on a similar trajectory a couple of years ago and I hired a career coach. Changed my whole life (professional and personal). I cannot recommend it in stronger terms.
Can you share who you worked with?
When I was 26 I spent around $300 on a career coach, and it changed my life. I had the wrong ideas about what should be considered when making a job choice. I made a lot of judgments based on things I like but wasn't particularly skilled at professionally.
Are you able to share who you worked with?
Yes, it really helped to have someone I could share my indecisiveness/cluelessness with and get constructive advice. Plus it saved me a lot of googling and the turmoil of finding motivation to do that.
My career coach helped me focus on the skills I liked using and the kind of work I wanted to perform. One year into a new job, and I couldn't be happier. I wouldn't call it my passion, but even so, I'm generally happy with work and earning more money than previously.
Several colleges and institutions provide alumni with career counseling services, either through their alumni association or career services office. You might find it more affordable than the open market if that's a possibility for you.
Two times—once when I was facing a tough situation at work and once when I was thinking about changing careers. Both times, it was quite effective. I had a hard time figuring out the best course of action on my own. Having someone else to talk to who helped clarify my thinking worked wonderfully.
Are you able to share who you used?
I have. It can really help to get you started down the right path to have an independent person to bounce ideas off of, overcome any mental obstacles with, and work on a precise action plan of doable actions each week.

Thanks for the responses. Can anyone provide the name of their coach?
I’m early in my career and feeling this way as well. I feel as though I’ve picked this career for the money and not for passion but struggling to discover what I would be passionate about doing. I never thought of working with a career coach. Please share any you have worked with!
