Hey everyone, I got a call from Deloitte recruiting on Wednesday of last week discussing salary requirements and location. They told me that the team really liked me and that they were going to work on an offer. I got a call on Friday saying one group has approved the offer but they are waiting on others. I haven’t heard much since then. Should I be worried? How much longer will I have to wait?

I don’t think it’s abstracted that much. It’s a new role within our ProServ organization, and requires getting hands just as dirty as needed, but IMO it aligns more with IT strategy consulting, defining business outcomes in accordance with what the implementation team does. In the Deloitte model, it seems like an Advise+Implement role with a little bit of Operate
Thanks A1. Can you elaborate a bit more? Does it involve understanding the existing setup, writing proposals or statement of work, or just a punching bag for clients for the dissatisfaction for the ongoing projects? How this role is different from solutions architect and TAM?
This role is more sales focused while also leading delivery work in professional services vs. other roles like SA or TAM
It varies a lot. It’s very new so it’s meant to be vague on purpose to allow folks some leeway on how to take it. In my case i focus more on presales, executive briefing and design thinking sessions, proposal work, and development of of our delivery plans. My focus is also more senior and ML/AI related and the big data data lake CDAs are a bit more delivery focused
AWS1: How many years of AWS and General Cloud experience do you have? Do you have any AWS certifications? Whats about other CDAs in terms of above two questions. Thanks for your help.
4 years of real cloud experience, maybe another 2-3 years of cloud-lite, but most of my experience is in strategy innovation and AI. No AWS certs though extensive experience with lots of AWS services and have lead several large cloud transformation and AI projects when I went in-house. There is an expectation set for most of the folks I’ve seen to complete several certs as part of their initial on boarding. That said I’ve served as a CDAO in-house and partner at several consulting firms so lack of certs on my end may have been more an exception.
From what I’ve seen certs make it more likely you’ll be interviewed but not a barrier. If you don’t have certs I feel slightly like they’re likely to grill you more to make sure you can hold your ground technically even though the expectation isn’t that we’re truly very deep.
