Wanted to know if going from at Analyst at Deloitte to Senior Associate at KPMG was feasible. I have 1.5 years of experience working in a SOC before joining Deloitte. I wanted to come in at the consultant level but the recruiter insisted on coming in as an analyst. I have been at Deloitte Cyber for a 1 year now & it has not been a good fit. So 2.5 years of cyber experience & a Masters in CS from elite school… is it feasible I try for a Senior Associate role at KPMG in cyber?

Maybe if you get promoted to C at Deloitte. You got shafted hard by accepting a position as an analyst, unlikely you can jump 2 positions by switching firms.

1.5 years of consulting experience or cyber security experience?

KPMG will look at YOE. Perform well in interview and should be able to get SA. Though promo to C would help but think if you have right interview skills and story should be fine. Most will be if you can lead complex workstreams without support and be able to guide others. That’s the focus on SA role.

I was at Deloitte as an analyst and was able to land an Senior Associate role at PwC. I had a lot of side projects to show though and networked a lot and was able to get a referral. It’s definitely possible, but will be hard to convince. Good luck!
