Very smart and capable team with oversold workload so bench is non-existent. Leadership is all mixed bag of MBB but they have done a great job of creating a consistent culture that fits well with the rest of the firm. You also have the option to take 6 month to 1 year sabbaticals with clients or a different part of the firm (everyone can), should you feel Strat isnt the place for you.

That’s great to hear K1. Thinking a few steps down the road, but how are the exit opportunities? Any transitions to PE Ops, VC, startups, etc? Also would like to know comp info like P2...

Thanks P1! I was able to find that post helpful as well

Ive heard of all of those exit opps and some high profile corp development/strat roles.

Hi All,

I’m filling out my background check for my Deloitte offer. Is the professional career start date the date I started my job after college or literally the date I had my first job (if it’s in the 25 years Deloitte asks about)?

My security clearance asks for 10 years but nothing before 18, and it seems weird if Deloitte wants to know high school jobs.

Any help would be appreciated!

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

Incoming junior-level consultant wants to know what is “billable hour”.
Once in a while I see discussions around billable hours, but I don’t know how that works. After googling, it appears to me that billable hour only matters to me if my salary is paid by hours. Since I will receive a fixed annual salary, does this mean that I don’t need to worry about the concept of billable hours?
A related questions: generally speaking, is the bonus related to the hours that I worked?
Thanks!
