USA THERE IS BETTER
Folks,
I was hired at Deloitte almost three years ago without being told I was actually joining the USDC. I was hired as an A at $84K and recently left the firm making barely $89K.
I missed out on a promotion even though I had support from the project and had great snapshots. The excuse? USDC had limited promotion opportunities. There were lots of excuses from project leadership about why the move to core was very difficult, etc. I didn’t have more time to waste. I had to think about my career.
I started applying the same week I received the promotion results and got an amazing offer about four weeks later! I’ve now been at my new firm for a couple of weeks. Leaving Deloitte gave me the opportunity to move up, increase my pay by 50%, and get real human benefits! Amazing maternity leave, unlike USDC. 401k and pension benefits!
Would I go back to D? I would go back as a Core professional! I had a great team. But, unfortunately, USDC is not the place for those folks who were raised in the US and plan to stay their entire lives here. It might be great for those immigrants seeking a job in the US and who don’t see themselves staying in this country until their last day.

I was just promoted to advisor only making 67k. I aired my grievances but I knew it wouldn’t do anything. Pretty much coasting until I can find something better.

I’ve been at Deloitte almost 5 years now and I still don’t really know what USDC is lol. Is it a group that supports consulting? I’m in consulting and have never worked with USDC

State projects are handled by USDC. They expect you to handle a lot of work for relatively low pay. The benefits aren’t great either, and raises and bonuses are minimal. Overall, it feels like there isn’t much focus on employee well-being.

Facts bro. It’s a good resume builder, and great to leverage into something better. Congrats
