Got a job. What's next? [Deloitte BTA]
Hello everybody!
I have been reading the Consulting Cabaret forum for quite a while now, but I think this is a good time to write a first post. I have recently accepted an offer from Deloitte for their Business Technology Analyst position and am seeking any advice you can have. Especially from those that are with Deloitte - what are the things that you know now that you wish you knew when you first started? How to build my network within the firm? How to get on the "cool" projects etc.
Also, would you say it is worth for a IT consultant to go do Bschool?
I will really appreciate any advice! Have a great day!
Just...attention to detail. I don't think any new hire to consulting has ever had the required attention to detail, especially under the time constraints you'll be experiencing.
Nothing else you do your first year will matter more than someone not having to constantly rewrite your work or hit "spell check" because you didn't.
On time + no stupid mistakes = excellent first year
TT
This. Unless there is some crazy urgency (e.g., you're in the car on your way to present at clients, which will happen), your manager would rather see a clean document 30 minutes late than an on-time document riddled with stupid mistakes.
Also--let your manager know when you do the above (i.e., you're just putting the finishing touches on the document, and that you're giving it a once over).
Tyler's comments are spot on.
As for bschool, I've heard from the BTA's I know that Deloitte (at least federal side) discourages bschool and often doesn't promote it as an option. In addition, they are very selective on their tuition allowance for BTA's going back to school (again, just from what I've heard form current BTAs).
Thank you so much for your valuable advice! What about networking? I have heard/read many opinions that building a good network is crucial in your career at Deloitte, but some say it's important to bond with partners/senior managers while others say that, of course I should try to make a good impression on the upper management, but I should focus on connecting with peers on my level and one level up, because they are the ones that can recommend me to a partner on their current project? What do you guys think about that?
