I’m consider a similar option right now. I’m new to consulting (1 yr) but bring a lot of technical cyber expertise that isn’t getting used. I have a PhD and end up doing PowerPoint most weeks. I’m telling myself the long term financial opportunity (ppmd) is greater here than at a product company, but I’m not sure about the risk. Half answer but curious what others think.

My final round with Deloitte for UK Tech Consulting Manager position soon. Strangely it’s not a PMD round as it usually is for other Big4/tech consulting firms.
1. Can anyone tell me if they’ve been through the whole process without speaking to PMD? (First round Sr Manager, second Case Interview by a manager and third again by a manager) 2. What is a typical salary to expect? I was asked in screening but kept it vague (e.g can discuss later bla bla). I was hoping 75-80 (ridiculous?)

How do you keep up/in touch with your network? Mine barely post anything on LinkedIn, so commenting on their posts is out of the question, and apparently it's impolite to just message or email them if the job searcher doesn't have anything to share besides asking for a referral or opening. If I don't have any relevant information to share with them, what should I do?
