Make the right connections early, and learn to say no. Deloitte is understaffed right now, so people will pull you in a hundred different directions, most of them being PMO or otherwise boring roles.

It's all hands on deck. In a few wks time? Are you a campus hire? If so, flexibility may be limited. Instead of saying you like certain roles or industries, express proficiency. Welcome aboard.

Remember when you’re interviewing for a project, you should also be interviewing them. Go into those conversations with a list of questions and make sure to be patient in your search. As D1 said, there’s a lot of need right now so remember you don’t have to take the first opportunity that comes your way.

Thank you, I'll make sure to patient and prepared for internal calls!

Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

There are a decent amount of benefits in my position, the biggest being WLB, which is what has kept me here for so long. But I’m getting frustrated. What would you do?
