Hello, Curious to know what is the hierarcy in Deloitte US & the difference between Principal, Partner and Managing director? These designations are of folks who are / have taken various rounds of interviews and hence curious. Are they all the same level with different responsibilities or? Thx #deloitte #tech
Thanks for your responses. That clears it.
What is the org hierarchy in Deloitte US Consulting (not audit but technology/ business consulting )
Recruiter tells me that Deloitte USA is a very flat org and am currently discussing for a SM role but want to be sure about the hierarchy
The levels are Analyst > Consultant > Snr Consultant > Manager > Snr Manager > PPMD (Partner/Principal/Managing Director) Being flat simply means you don’t report to a hierarchy of bosses. As an org, you report to no one. However, one person is designated to represent you in any official capacity (raises, promotion, escalation of notices, etc.) and that’s your coach. Your coach is typically another consultant within your practice, but they’re 2 levels above you. They communicate on your behalf; so, it’s important you maintain a good relationship with them. On a project though, you may report to a hierarchy of bosses; however, none has the ability to terminate you from the firm; they can only roll you off that project and provide a scathing review. Depending on their influence in the firm, you may get fired based on their recommendation. No clocking in or out. I think you get a gist of it now.
Thank you for your detailed response. So basically the coach is like the manager in other companies who is responsible for overall career path in Deloitte.
This isn’t remotely true. MD < Principal < Partner Partner is the highest level you can attain and it’s only for a privileged few, in addition to having a CPA, you have ownership in the firm and share in the profit. No salaries because you’re not an employee. Next level is Principal; you have ownership, but typically less than partners. No CPA required. MD is a salaried employee. No profit sharing.
