Happens at Deloitte all the time in your first year or two. The key is to network and build relationships with managers who are on projects you want to be on, get them to staff you, then kill it on those projects. If you do well they'll keep staffing you, and HR can't put you on other stuff if you are already staffed. As long as you have open time on your schedule, HR will grab you when they need to staff a project, because all that matters to them is that they get a warm body there, no one cares if you want to be there or know what the hell you're doing

Not really a problem at ACN except for your first project or if you have literally no network. Technically you always have the right to say no here, it's just not always necessarily the smartest move.

Other internship options include start-up or consulting.

Working as CAL Manager with Accenture S&C India. Offered ~GBP 76.5K (fixed plus flexi) at Manager Grade by Deloitte London.

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role
