Hey all,
About to join deloitte s&o out of undergrad in a few months. Recently received my portfolio offering after providing my preferences (enterprise ops, core business, customer & marketing, strategy & analytics, m&a). Are there general portfolio offerings that people prefer / is there a difference in exit ops between different offerings? Or is it mostly just different types of work?

From what I've heard, Strategy & Analytics and Mergers & Acquisitions will likely be the most "prestigious" offering portfolios (highest pay, "better" exit ops, longer hours heh, etc.).
Enterprise Ops and Core Business are more in-line with Tech implementations (SAP, Salesforce, etc.). Less prestige and pay, but you're most likely working much better hours too.
As with most things in life, there are trade-offs. I would personally try and go for S&A/M&A/C&M if I were in your shoes though.
thanks for the info! in that case, would you say c&m is somewhere in the middle between the other four offerings then? Saw in another thread that its a smaller group and more growth-oriented strategy
C&M and S&A are the most prestigious. This is where the old monitor folk fell. If you are S&O destination within C&M you will have the highest probability of pure strategy project. C&M is also the smallest in size. S&A is a bit larger but is somewhat similar.
The pay is the same regardless of the portfolio. Exit ops are somewhat the same (b-school), but clearly, you will have a different skill set form each one which will determine exit ops to a degree.
I would say shoot for C&M or S&A.
I am in C&M and I prefer the project opportunities heavily to those offered within S&A
Best, M
Also an incoming analyst, i got placed into Core Business Ops; i know it’s not ideal and i am planning to network to get onto other project but i was wondering if you could tell me what’s the difference between Ent Ops and Core Business Ops?
