It’s tough to build a network- Deloitte does not on-board experienced hires well. There are acronyms for everything and they change every time there’s a leadership change, which adds to the onboarding challenge. Advice: find a partner champion within the first few months. Make friends with someone internal that knows the ropes (EA,chief of staff, good resource manager or hr person). They will be invaluable in terms of answering questions. People of all levels appreciate little shows of gratitude and will remember you for it.

If someone says “the project will start next week” but doesn’t, then you walk away and get yourself on another sold gig. The firm does not reward us for being team players, loyal networkees, or committed team members. Stomp on anyone you have to go get utilized. (Sorry, it’s true)

I have an issue with the “Deloitte Nice” and the gaslighting. It has been 2 years and I’ve finally accepted that these are cornerstones of Deloitte’s culture.
