I work in an internal strategy group at Deloitte in the part of our business we refer to as “enabling areas”. We “borrow” people all the time from Deloitte’s Consulting practice (e.g., on short or longer term rotations paying an internal hourly rate to Consulting) to support our internal strategy projects, and I know other internal teams do this too. Do the internal teams do this at PwC? Hubby is on the bench at Strategy& and I keep telling him to look into this as an option…
It’s almost Purim!

I work in finance and I earn more than I ever imagined was possible. I moved countries, worked hard and networked until things fell into place.
I feel like I am kind of at a standpoint with motivation or just trying to do more here. I’ve mostly been locked in to doing AP related tasks with the fancy title of analyst. But I have been doing additional tasks such as month to month trends for some vendors, securing a 30k refund etc some milestones and now I feel a bit stuck in the role
I work as a senior manager in tax. It is step 4 out of 6 on the company's carreer scale. Step 5 and 6 (partner) require more sales, so step 4 is something you reach if you are good and have like 8-10 years of experience and you might stay on that step until retirement. I just got promoted to SM after 8 years.
I was very lost when I was younger on what I should study and work with. In my country studies are free and I had a very good grade on a national test for university, so I could basically get accepted to any program in the country. This made everything a lot harder - it might sound great that you "can be anything you like" but I found that very pressuring, like I really got to make the perfect choise.
I started studying physics but didnt have the brains for it so I quit after one year. That was very bad for my self esteem and I had a shit job at customer service for debt collection for 2 years afterwards, which also wasnt good for my self esteem. I then applied to study law by chance and to my surprise, this was a lot easier than physics. I didnt get a job for a year after my studies and felt like failiure. Eventually I got a job as a tax lawyer at pwc. Even though competitors have tried to headhunt me, I am so grateful for getting the chance at pwc and my colleagues are great so it would take a lot more than they offer to make me swap. I am in a very niched field which is fun because it makes me attractive on the market. Ive been strategic with everything I do and engaged in a lot of internal projects and want to be seen as someone who likes to help out and delivers well and that has paid off :)
That sounds like a very intense journey! a lot of growth and changes to make. I feel like i’m just attempting to catch my footing but I feel uncertain of the path. I’ve only completed an associates degree in psychology.. was mostly in office assistant positions and dabbled here and there with accounting. I made the switch to mostly accounts payable with a fancy title and more responsibilities of tracking trends etc but now I sort of want to branch out and I feel a little stagnant so I kind of wanted to see how other people have done it
Corp strategy. 200k base. Client services and luck!
A few years. Started in client services but we grew a lot and needed a team for internal projects which are very different but still related to client work. Much better than consulting grind imo
