What is it like being a contractor for Deloitte? May have an interview coming up but I’ve never done contracting before.

As a sub or prime? Doesn’t matter if it’s Deloitte but if you’re the former you get big donged and if the latter you do the donging

Like project delivery?

Unsure. The recruiter hasn’t really given me any details besides basic job requirements. I just know it’s for a PM role on the client site.

Don’t accept a Project Delivery role. You get 7 days after your project ends to find a new project. We just had to let several go.

That said, I just came from Booz last year after 10+ years, what makes you want to come over? Would be happy to chat about the pros/cons.

Ohh gotcha, well Deloitte is massive but it’s very fragmented, little to no centralization, even talent/HR don’t know what’s going on.

I’d characterize it as a place where if you’re not super motivated you’ll cycle out quick.

If you need a job, you need a job though, can take for a bit and see how it goes…

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.
