Question about #deloitte - Software engineer / Fullstack Developer. Group: Applied AI - Analytics and Cognitive During an interview I wasn't told much about what I'll be doing or even what tech stack I'll be using. How much coding/engineering will I be doing? I would hate to be a glorified ETL person writing SAS queries or QA. My expertise is mobile (React Native) and fullstack (backend Python/JS, frontend JS/React/Redux)
If it’s consulting (majority cases), then stack depends on the client project you work upon.
It'll be consulting. I'm down if it's modern development (Golang, Python, Javascript, Kotlin, etc for backend and frontend vanilla JS or react/angular framework)... but what if I get a govt project and thus working with 1980s mainframe JCL? Like I can learn that but I'd be shooting myself in the foot career wise to specialize in that.
As consultant, you would be expected to by-and-large work on whatever stack client has. Of course the projects would be under you service line (eg. analytics). I think deloitte has a specialist role for specific tech stacks.
How will you be classified? Will you be a specialist/digital studio/consulting etc. It varies widely based on which project you're on. Most of the frontend work I've seen has been react/angular and I've heard of people working on python backend too
They were looking for a "fullstack developer" with title "consultant" for their analytics and cognitive group, under Deloitte Consulting.
In my experience, consultants who do development work are also expected to do the consulting work too. ie. If you wrote some code for the client you would be expected to be able to explain what you did and why it's important to the client. So you'd probably do less coding work than you would at a real tech company but imo the soft skills you build as a consultant will be worth it when you're a senior SWE trying to get the manager promotion at a real tech company
