Hi everyone. A PDM specialist here. Joined Deloitte 5+ years back as ‘Senior Solution Engineer -On-site’.Later in June 2017 all these ‘on-site’ folks got rebranded as PDM. Slowly started to realize how PDM is getting sidelined as a ‘discountable’ group. Sometimes I feel contract jobs are better than being at PDM , but obviously tied up with D for visa related issues.No career progression so far and don’t see any positive changes in the near future as well.I think it’s high time to call it a day.

Most managers at big 4 are pretty mid, occasionally you'll find some pretty cool ones though
Shifting from non Big 4 to IT Consulting arm of 1 of Big 4.
Initial 3-4 months of big 4 consulting are overwhelming but just show up everyday and be open to learn. Things shall be fine
Yup just had a mid level manager move to big-4 tech consulting from non big-4. Depending on the firm hours are nearly the same some weeks a little more others a little less, but it is case by case and comp is higher by a large margin.
It all depends on the team and your skills/experience.
Are you willing to go through the transition, putting in the time and effort?
If your leadership is good, they will guide you and give you the instruments to succeed. Otherwise you might be in for a tough period.
Expectations for managers are much higher, you’re not an analyst with whom leadership can accept lower quality and slower delivery.
If you come from a technical company and end up in strategy, for example, do you have the analytical skills required? You don’t easily acquire them reading up something while already being under pressure. The same applies the other way around actually.
My old team basically gave a boot camp to incoming managers with no big4 experience to shape them. I’ve seen a few not pass the probation period.
If you already have the skills/mindset and you end up in a good team, it will be fine, they will appreciate the value you bring!!
Ask around for better insights before accepting and good luck!
