Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Completing compliance projects for clients, shadowing Partners on projects, providing research to complement Advisory projects all provide opportunities to apply financial advisory knowledge for all tax related queries and projects. Working with talented people, for large international co-operations is insightful of the global economy Deloitte operates in.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Far more responsibility than expected. Presenting client led research to Consultants and Directors gives you the opportunity to conduct end-to-end work which makes a real impact to Deloitte's operations.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
So much support! You are assigned a Buddy, a People Leader and a Partner to shadow who all provide key networks of support. Beyond this you have a Bay, these 5/6 people work within your team and give you opportunities for exposure. Lastly, the camaraderie between grades such as analysts and consultants is impactful, so the sense of community is excellent.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Deloitte to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Deloitte
Get to know the firm - learn its values and learn what the employees do day to day... as this can cause a few to slip up! It is a people's firm which requires communication and putting yourself out there. Take the risks presented to you, and deliver everything to the best of your ability. Crucially, adopting a growth mindset is key. Good luck!
