Recommendations & Advice

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Deloitte
Go in with an open mind on what consulting is. I went into Deloitte with an idea of what industry and type of project I wanted to be involved in. The project I ended up working on was different to this expectation, but I enjoyed it thoroughly, and it allowed me to develop massively.
