I agree with everything C1 said. I’m not a former Deloitte employee but I have gotten outside offers without any issues. There’s no need to say you are project delivery or explain what project delivery even is (if you try you will likely sound like you are saying you are a sub contractor of Deloitte which you are not even though it often feels that way). I also have many former coworkers thriving in other top consulting firms (in their “traditional”-like roles) because they couldn’t find the support to move within Deloitte. PDM is more of a hindrance within Deloitte than outside of Deloitte. (Coming from someone that recently transferred out of PDM).

Really D2? That is interesting.

Not if you don’t explain it. I’ve found that most people see “Deloitte” and that’s good enough. I personally never went into the details of the career models. Internally, however, yes, it greatly impacted (and held me back) from moving around and finding support.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

Recently joined the firm as a project delivery specialist. During recruiting, the team harped on how great my background was and how much a good fit I would be for the firm/project...

Well, I was on an onboarding call and they were talking about staffing and projects. The presenter said to reach out to them if you don’t think your project is a good fit. In his words “you were hired into the firm, not a specific project. We see you here long term... With the exception of PDM model” 😅
