Deloitte S&O Internship
So currently I'm a sophomore with pretty heavy involvement on campus, student orgs, the works. Recruiting for Deloitte S&O is in the Fall and is hella competitive.
My main concern is I look too much like a Tech Consulting guy. My majors are Finance + Management Information Systems, and I've mentioned that I've helped make websites for student groups on my resume.
I've been talking to Deloitte recruiters in my area and I'm slowly starting to network more heavily. I could change my majors to Supply Chain + Finance but idk if that's a route I want to pursue.
Thoughts?
...Just apply to S&O? The processes are run separately, to my knowledge. I have engineering and Computer Science major friends that went to S&O/more strategy consulting roles versus going to tech consulting, which is where their resumes looked like they were leading.
Be very clear about your interest in doing more strategic work, and focus on the finance part of your background. No need to change your majors. I know people in S&O that shared your exact major combination. On another note, one of the best things that you can do is try to get an internship this summer that resembles the kind of work that you would do in S&O.
Ask yourself is your goal to get a job at Deloitte or to do more strategic work. If it's the latter, then be up-front about what your interests are. Do not say, "I'm interested in these ten things, and am flexible." If you say that, then there's a higher chance that you'll be routed into technology.
Deloitte S&O Summer (Originally Posted: 10/06/2011)
I sent in my application for Deloitte S&O summer internship (Toronto office) 2 weeks ago. I got pretty good feedback from friends and profs and have been practising hard since then to prepare for the interview. However, I've not heard a word from Deloitte, even though one recruiter told me that I should hear back within the first week. I'm not sure if they only look at interns after FT hiring is finalized or I'm simply dinged. Two friends of mine applied for FT and haven't heard back either. Should we put an end to the waiting and case practising and focus on something else?
Toronto is all over this website!
Toronto all the way!
Does anyone have info on Deloitte BTA in Canada? I've done lots of research into S&O, but don't know as much about the BTA program. I've done a search but most of the information on here seems to be for offices in the states. In particular, I would love to hear thoughts on the following:
1) Caliber of work. Does a BTA just go in and work SAP like a monkey? Do they get to do some high level analyses, work with top level clients etc.?
2) Compensation and career progression. Is it the same as a Deloitte BA?
3) B-school. I heard that D will pay for grad school if you're a top performer. How good do you have to be? Top 10%? Top 1%?
4) Exit ops. Anyone have some actual examples?
Thanks in advance!
1) For BTA, you mostly do SAP and Oracle stuff. Client interactions are more with the technical managers (CTO top).
2) Compensation is the same at entry levels, less at post-master levels and beyond.
3) D does pay for b-schools. but you can forget about the top ones if you're in BTA. Only BAs are groomed for B-schools, and even they don't normally get to the top ones. My friends said it's an uphill battle.
4) Exit ops: Accenture, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and the likes.
I read this from one thread on WSO. Two friends of mine applied for FT and haven't heard back either. I hate it when companies leave applicants waiting for months just to receive a rejection email sent by some automated outlook script.
To the OP. I know the Toronto office has been doing interviews for full-time BA's. Maybe they will be doing summer internships after?
Props def go out to McKinse, Bain, and BCG for keeping candidates in the loop. Even when they were swamped they took the time to send out e-mails telling candidates that it will be another week or two before hearing back.
Nothing worse than no response from a firm after applying.
