I was laid off during Deloitte‘s mass layoff in July of last year. I have worked as an independent contractor since and projects haven’t been consistent at the client I’m working for. I’m looking to get back into a big firm and was seeing if anyone would be able to refer me or help get my foot in the door. I was a business analyst for 1.5 years at Deloitte and have several years of additional experience which I’d be more than happy to share.

PWC1 the work gets different as you move up, but there is always more of it, and it is increasingly important that you get it right because your mistake can do more damage. It never ever ever gets easier.
Early mornings and/or late night calls with India. It’s an absolute back breaker...you finally wind down and you’re back on the phone trying to work through problems
