Literally staffed after 2 days. What is onboarding RIP

My best experience at Deloitte was handing my resignation. The work was just exhausting.

12 hour days and weekends is pretty normal. 5 days X 12 hours is only 60 hours. You should expect 70-80 hours/ week.

like

Just wait until you make SM and get to work 18 hour days!

Did you onboard during a busy time when a deliverable is due? If you just started and already working 12 hour days, that’s a red flag.

There are lots of implementations. Not all are 12 hour days. This seems like a hard place to be.

Implementation?

Gets a lot better once you’re experienced and ingrained enough to know what you need to get done and how to manage up. Usually at the 2 yr mark for a campus hire. Some go their whole careers thinking working hard = contributing value. I haven’t worked but a smattering of weekends in the last 5 years, log off by 3-4 on fridays and don’t do crazy nights. It’s doable.

I’m my partners only associate and I went on parental leave two weeks ago. I feel horrible for leaving him to handle our cases alone, but am trying to focus on my wife and new baby.

Hi there, I’ve been told that Deloitte (London, UK) is going to make me an offer but haven’t heard back and it’s been over two weeks. The recruiter mentioned it would be around the “m2 grade”. Any idea what this pay range is? … I have 3 YOE working in NHS finance and have applied for a position in Risk Advisory, public sector. Curious what life at Deloitte is like? Does a work life balance exist?

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?
