Taking New Grad at Deloitte Over FAANG
Hi Everyone,
I have a full-time job lined up at FAANG company where I already interned when I graduate with my EE degree this December.
I have a few former upperclassmen buddies who now work at Deloitte in consulting and I went to one of their get-togethers on the 4th and met a few of their coworkers and really hit it off with them. Apparently, they liked me so much that one of my buddies said if I want to interview on their team, unless I royally fuck it up, I'll have a full-time job there when I graduate.
They did seem a bit cagey about TC though - for reference my starting TC at my job currently lined up is 180k (including RSUs)
I know I don't want to stay in engineering long (because I hate it), and for no deeper reason than consulting seems cool, I think my best plan is to stick with my current job, then possibly lateral to some type of tech consulting in two or three years.
A large part of me really doesn't want to work in my job lined up though...I know Deloitte gets clowned on, but would it really be a stupid decision to work there instead (assuming they weren't just BSing)?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
Go faang 100%. Worst case, if you hate it, you’ll have it on your resume and get any tech consulting job you want at Deloitte (or really anywhere). Most people at Deloitte would kill their mother to work at a faang.
Plus, Deloitte is notorious for underpaying home grown talent. If you do two years at a faang then lateral in, it will be at a significantly higher salary band than home grown peers (though still miles behind your entry-level faang).
Also “tech consulting” at a place like deloitte or accenture is more like doing mindless ERP implementation for giant corporations (or, worse, SOX compliance that never gets looked at). Go on fishbowl and take a look for yourself at what you’d really be getting into. Hell, make a post and ask for input from folks who actually work there. I think changing course here would be a really bad idea.
FAANG >>>>>>>>>> Deloitte
No question here
Thank you both, you're right. Appreciate it.
OP just go to FAANG, forget this like it never happened and you'll be thanking yourself in a few years.
Thank you.
Congrats on the FAANG offer. They pay well compared to Big4.
