Hi there, I have 3.5 YOE working for NHS Finance. I applied to Deloitte Risk Advisory, Public Sector (London, UK) and was successful. Waiting to hear back with package offer but it’s been over 2 weeks - was told they may offer M2 grade, any ideas what this is?
I’m also interviewing for Senior consultant role also at Deloitte. How much would this typically pay?
Torn whether to stay within NHS as I will be getting an internal promotion or move to Deloitte.
What’s the WLB like? Good job security?
Hi Fishes,
Cleared interview with AWS but the role went on freeze, HR said my result is valid for 6 months and may choose to directly extend an offer when role is again available. Can anyone in AWS share any insights about the current freeze and if you see things getting better within 6 months.

I left there after a six year stint. I still maintain it's a good shop, I just wanted to do something different and got a really good opportunity. It's changed a lot in the past couple of years - some for the better, some for the worse. The obsessive focus on awards is annoying, but the quality of the work has gone up. I'd still recommend it even if I personally don't want to work there anymore.
They fail miserably at retaining talent, while competitors know how to do this and are taking advantage of their mistake and cashing in.
This happens when leadership is out of touch with their employees and just focused on one goal.
Area 23 is not an unique place neither offers anything different from their competitors.
Couldn’t agree more!!!!
Area 23 is a good place, it’s just very hard to grow there! Perhaps because the focus is on awards so much and less on employee retention and growth
This might be industry specific, but it feels like the only way to really learn anything is by making many mistakes first! The on-boarding process isn’t great—it’s very general. Once you get on a brand there might be a bunch of brand specific things you have to learn. There is a general lack of consistency AND there’s no real clear role definitions and responsibilities on the IP side at least. The goal setting is a joke—who has time to track and ensure goals and growth are being met?!?! it seems like in theory it’s good but not in practice.
Low opportunities for growth, promotions, or interesting work unless you’re one of the chosen few. Still a good agency in a lot of ways
OP to answer your question, the reason people are leaving is because they are overworked. The agency won about 30 million this year organically; and the work isn’t staffed so everyone is covering the work while we try to fill 90 open positions. I think us on the account team are hardest hit with over 40 spots. But this is a short term problem. Every Monday when 5 new people start it gets a little better.
And agency very supportive during this time. They have pulled out of pitching completely and there’s a ton of freelancers
Not true at all. I am tied to any new biz efforts. Only one pitch this year and it was the kind that it would have been awkward and insulting to pull out of. All the growth is organic and new accounts from existing clients If clients call us and want to give us business on the other hand, we’ll take it. We’re not stupid.
Some people are too comfortable in their light workload and take advantage of unlimited time offs and when real work hits, complain about being over worked! There are so many resources available and you rarely see anyone work crazy late hours unless you are in launch mode or going through concepting process! At any other agency you will not see juniors GTFO at 5:30 sharp every day!
I pinched from there because a FT writer was billing next to zero hours. So f**k the new guy, right?
*I got pinched...
