Deloitte Job - Check... Now What?

Nphelan, are you working for Deloitte in Canada? I worked for them in Western Canada in audit - I had been planning to go for my CA designation but I hated the work. I had loved accounting in school but I found that the practical application of it, especially after my first year, was mind numbingly dull.

One thing I found about DTT, though, especially if you want to move around, is that it's important to be really social. You will find things a bit odd because you're not in a straight audit role (yet you're working with audit) and you are doing work with various departments - in my experience, different groups really stuck with each other. You will have the advantage of being in the office a lot so take advantage of drinks, firm events, departmental events, etc. Talk to the managers, senior managers and partners like they're real people - I found that our management was often dying to have a normal conversation because they were stuck in their offices all day... and a lot of junior staff were often too nervous to behave normally.

If you have any questions about the corporate culture, let me know - I learned a lot while I worked there, not just about accounting but about client relationships, office politics and myself.
