Deloitte Graduate in Consulting Technology

Why did you choose the Deloitte Graduate Programme?

Deloitte is a leading brand globally. The diversity of the services we get to work with, and the experience is perfect for launching a successful career.

What did you study in college?

B.E in Information Technology and MSc in Applied Computing.

With this Graduate Programme are you now working in the industry of your choice? 

I didn’t want to work for IT even though I come from that background. Hence, I applied for consulting, but I was put into IT based on my qualification. Initially, I was unhappy with my designation, but I was asked to give it a try and Deloitte gave me sufficient time and resources to work on myself. Also, the projects were challenging enough and I was motivated to work under technology. Now, I love my job and in the future I want to be an SME (Subject Matter Expert).

What were your first impressions and how easy did you find it to become integrated at Deloitte?

First impression – ‘I was very much delighted to be Deloitted’. The ecosystem is incredible: very easy going and a friendly environment. I was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and enthusiasm within the firm. This helped me integrate and adapt quickly to Deloitte’s work environment.
