Why is everyone leaving Deloitte? I thought that was a place everyone was trying to go. Y’all have me nervous to accept the offer. Lol

I’ve been in GPS my entire career. Started as a campus hire. Great experience and wouldnt leave (and haven’t left) for more money despite many offers.

Not blaming you SM1 but Deloitte will do everything except “pay” it forward lol

I was there for two years coming in as exp hire. Thought that it would be a great place to propel my career, which it was - learned a ton while there. But it’s just not sustainable to have a life outside of Deloitte and the pay was not enough to substantiate the long hours.

Left for a smaller consulting firm and working 20 hours less a week with larger pay. It’s a good stepping stone but it’s a sweatshop and always will be.

Imagine being at a company that fired 10% if it’s workforce (5000 people) and also cut bonuses by 75% and froze raises.

Now imagine that same company a few months later saying “we’re so busy. We hired 14000 people, all of whom now make more than you do because we froze raises. And many of whom were the rejects of the other firms because those are the only people we could get and we are desperate. And by the way, we don’t plan on adjusting your salaries”.

And your competitors didn’t make those same choices. Would you want to stay or go to a competitor?

That’s why I left for McKinsey. If I had known I was qualified for McKinsey, I would have left anyway. But I didn’t shoot my shot until this happened

Also, Deloitte is much more bonus driven than competitors. As a Consultant (2 years out of school), my bonus was 14k. SCs can make 35k+ at the top end.

So a 50% % cut in bonus is very significant for us. Because our base was garbage. Not to mention Covid didn’t impact our previous performance year. So the cut was all precautionary and not even the same timeframe it was supposed to be on. (Bonuses are backwards. Raises are forwards facing)

I’ve had a great few years here in GPS but as a campus hire the pay is garbage

As an experienced hire, the pay is also garbage.

There's are basically three kinds of responses to this stuff:

1) Deloitte lifers who think things are great
2) New hires who think things are great
3) Grizzled employees who have been around for sometime between 2 and 10 years and will tell you that there is some good stuff but an awful lot of bad.

Good or bad, the real question I would ask is would you encourage your child to work at Deloitte if they had other opportunities?

My personal answer is no, there are so many companies that would treat you and pay you better, why you limiting yourself to Detoilet?

Happens the other way around too. Everyone who stays put is eventually underpaid in a hot market like this. No company on the planet levels up it’s internal comp as much as they pay market for new hires.
