Hi Folks,
Hope you are doing well, I need valuable suggestion on few of my queries.
I had joined KPMG(KGS) on April 2022, during the interview i have been told that i would be working on Java Backend Development as my background belongs to same technology and my interview was also happened on Java/Spring/Microservices; but they put me on Low-Code / No code Platform and its totally tool based work. I am frustrated with the current work as i didnt find anything productive to learn.Continued in com KPMG @

OP, the difficulty you might have with moving to FA is the lack of ACA/training that is typical of the background the teams there poach from.
I would recommend reaching out to M-D grade in the economic advisory and corporate finance practices, ask them about what work they do day-to-day. Your impression may differ from reality.
Not sure why you’d do (2) as PA Consulting are even more tech delivery focused than us.
(3) my experience is sitting around will not help your position. If you know your heart is not in the tech consulting arena it’s much easier to get out now whilst you can, even if it means stepping back into an entry-level role.
Thank you- really appreciate it. Agreed- I’m only just over a year into consulting and would happily be an analyst for another year or even two as these years determine my career for the next 4-5 decades.
How long have you been here? It will be difficult to move internally with less than 2 years experience
Payments work in RA will be as described above, maybe cybersecurity reviews. I think I’m being fair saying Accenture are probably leading in projects on Payments right now but we do have some SMEs, message me if you’d like some names.
If economic/policy advisory is your interest, and you want intellectual stimulus, then the interesting stuff doesn’t happen at Big4 (too risk averse, too many conflicts). Unfortunately this work isn’t as lucrative. PA is an option but scan the market more broadly. Also think about industries where this plays a role and look at sector regulators (Ofcom is good for careers, CMA does interesting work) or big corporates that have policy teams. Anywhere with a “Chief Economist” role is going to take the function seriously and not just organise lobbying PR.
