It helps if your firm is well known, you will get the benefit of the doubt over a similar applicant from an unknown firm.

If you submit your resume with Deloitte on it, I think you should be fine

Thinking of trying to jumping to smaller firms that may not be as well known, currently 1 YOE - so have another 2 years before I apply and 3 before start

Would love to know the answer
