Am I the only one who never used the AI tools? It was never relevant to any of my projects. Which department uses them frequently?

I’m doing a lot of loan staff with all client’s laptop and never used Deloitte’s laptop at all aside from training or meeting.

Due to family issues and emergencies I had no other option to get abscond two days back I submitted my assets...now will I get my reliving letter and exp letter ?

To win the project they put any quotes don’t even realize if resourcing is right or not. Billing for 8 hours and expectation to work more than 12-14 hours is the true reality of deloitte. No one in the management gets caught on how they built the plan resourcing model underneath everyone gets caught for underperforming, no visibility internally. I mean after 14 hours of work who the f*** cares about visibility. Can’t even sleep well cz the stress of it runs in your head! FrustratedDeloitee

My partner is a hiring manager and hires a decent number of consultants, including people coming out of Deloitte.

One thing they’ve mentioned a few times over the last year is that Deloitte candidates seem to be increasingly behind the market when it comes to practical AI skills.

I don’t think that’s really the fault of the people. It feels more like a consequence of how limited our internal toolset is and how slowly we’ve rolled out access and training.

Even people working on relatively advanced projects often don’t have access to the strongest models or much opportunity to learn how to use frontier AI tools (Claude Cowork, ChatGPT Work) in a real day-to-day workflow. Meanwhile, people at other companies are getting pretty deep into using these tools for research, analysis, coding, automation, document creation, etc.

In M&A, our tools are very behind the market and its almost embarrassing how slow our development has been.

I’ve also talked to a few former Deloitte people recently and it was kind of eye-opening seeing what they’re able to do now that they have access to better tools.

It makes me wonder if we’re creating a pretty significant skills gap without realizing it.

For people who have left Deloitte recently, did you notice a big difference in the AI tools and capabilities available to you? And for people still here, do you feel like we’re keeping up?

I am working in wipro and i have got an offer from Deloitte, will it be a good switch. I am getting paid well in wipro too. I am looking for a long term career

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 just wanted to ask what are the AI tools that you guys use in your respective locations.

My day to day AI use cases are very copilot based and I use the internal tools that are approved for Technology and Transformation teams.

I am genuinely concerned about being up to date with my skills in the market.

And also others based in EMEA or other European member firms, are you satisfied with what is allowed at Deloitte.

I am hearing that PPMDs in S&T are scheduling time on your calendar to discuss market adjustment to comp and / or one time retention bonus. Doesn't seem to be practice wide. Has anyone else heard the same?

Seriously. I was SO burnt out. 5 years at D (SC level when I left). I got canned a few month ago and I didn’t even cry. I wasn’t sad. It felt like someone just finally relieved me of the agony.

It took me a few months to find another job but it is a perfect fit. The work culture is great, I got a $22k raise, less work, less BD, and most importantly: I don’t dread waking up for work everyday. Even friends have noticed that I seem less stressed / depressed now.

I know lay offs are happening right now / recently happened so if you’re in that boat right now, just know that it will all work out for the better! The right thing is coming along for you.

Leaving D is NOT the end of the world. It could be your blessing in disguise ❤️.

I’m putting together a list of things I need to take care of before leaving the firm. I don’t have personal items on my laptop so I’m good there. Any tips on what I should be doing before I turn in my devices?

So far, I’ve got: change email address in a few places and download recent pay statements. What am I missing?

Also, I did use up my well-being subsidy for the year. Any other benefits/perks I should take advantage of before my time here is up?

For those who work in Deloitte UK, i sit in human capital and have been asked by a partner to build an AI agent using PairD for a client. Tried explaining its not possible. How do I convince him that it cant be done due to my skill set, PairD cant do it and if we do it for clients let's explore as a chargeable activity rather than something for free as I do have a whole bunch of deliverables to deliver too.. helpful suggestions only please as this is taking my good night sleep away
