This is most ridiculous question and I work for Deloitte ha ha... what is a ‘typical’ engagement like? They do the same stuff as we do in S&O, they just get paid more and often times do more in the C-Suite than the functional level. That’s my two cents base on my experience and friends at MBB.

That’s not average big4 though you’re just on a PMO project

Get out of your head that there are mystical engagements. The “MBB” does the same things we all do.

I think everyone has answered, there is no typical project. The amount our work overlaps probably also depends on which areas you work in. I haven’t done one PMO, implementation/transformation, or cost side project since I joined, that doesn’t mean we don’t do that type of work, though. I got looped into to a pretty awesome partner group early on that has allowed me to primarily do big growth strategy projects with c suite. There are probably people at D who are similar.

Solve hard problems. Get paid more.

No typical project from content side. But average team size is 3-4 not including partners

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?
