Take a Look ↓↓↓

1. Experience: Principals with more years of experience in consulting, especially within Deloitte, are likely to earn higher salaries.
2. Performance: High-performing principals who consistently deliver exceptional results and bring in significant business for the firm may be eligible for higher bonuses and hence, a higher overall salary.
3. Location: The cost of living and market demand in a specific geographic location can impact a principal’s compensation. For instance, principals based in major cities like New York or London may earn higher salaries compared to those in smaller cities.
4. Industry expertise: Principals who specialize in high-demand industries or possess unique expertise may be able to command higher salaries due to the specific value they bring to clients and the firm.

What benefits and perks do principals at Deloitte Consulting receive?

In addition to the base salary and bonuses, principals at Deloitte Consulting may receive a variety of benefits and perks. These can include:

1. Comprehensive healthcare coverage, including medical, dental, and vision insurance.
2. Retirement plans, such as a 401(k) with matching contributions.
3. Generous paid time off, including vacation days and holidays.
4. Flexible work arrangements and remote work options, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
5. Professional development and training opportunities to enhance skills and expertise.
6. Networking and social events to connect with colleagues and build relationships within the firm.
7. Employee assistance programs, such as counseling or wellness resources.
8. Stock options or equity grants, providing additional financial incentives.

It is important to note that the specific benefits and perks may vary based on the region and country of employment, so it is always advisable to consult the firm’s policy or speak with a Deloitte representative for accurate information.

What is the career progression for a principal at Deloitte Consulting?

The career progression for a principal at Deloitte Consulting typically follows a structured path. As a consultant, one starts at an associate or analyst level and gradually progresses to more senior positions, such as manager or senior manager. From there, top-performing individuals may be promoted to the position of principal. Beyond the principal level, there are additional executive roles, including managing director and partner, which represent higher levels of seniority and responsibility within the firm.

How does one become a principal at Deloitte Consulting?

Becoming a principal at Deloitte Consulting requires a combination of experience, skills, and expertise. The typical path to this position involves several steps:

1. Education: Most principals at Deloitte Consulting hold advanced degrees such as an MBA, JD, or PhD. While not always mandatory, an advanced degree can greatly enhance one’s chances of reaching the principal level.
2. Experience: Prospective principals generally have significant consulting experience, often ranging from eight to fifteen years or more. This experience should ideally be a mix of industry-specific expertise, client-facing roles, and project management responsibilities.
3. Demonstrated expertise: Principals need to showcase deep industry knowledge and expertise to effectively lead client engagements and provide valuable insights and recommendations.
4. Exceptional performance: Consistently delivering high-quality work, cultivating strong client relationships, and exceeding performance expectations are crucial for advancing to the principal level.
5. Business development skills: Principals are often responsible for bringing in new business and expanding client relationships. Demonstrating an ability to generate revenue and contribute to the growth of the firm is highly valued.
6. Leadership capabilities: As principals are often responsible for leading teams, strong leadership skills, including effective communication, collaboration, and mentorship, are essential for success.

Are there opportunities for advancement beyond the principal level?

Yes, there are opportunities for advancement beyond the principal level at Deloitte Consulting. Once individuals reach the principal level, they can continue to progress within the firm by taking on additional responsibilities, leading larger engagements or teams, and driving strategic initiatives. The next level of advancement is typically the role of managing director, followed by partner. These executive positions involve leading and shaping the firm’s overall strategy, managing key client relationships, and contributing to the growth and success of the organization.

What are the main challenges of being a principal at Deloitte Consulting?

While being a principal at Deloitte Consulting is a prestigious and rewarding position, it comes with its own set of challenges. Some of the main challenges include:

1. High client expectations: Principals are responsible for leading complex client engagements and delivering impactful solutions. Meeting or exceeding client expectations while managing limited resources and tight timelines can be demanding.
2. Work-life balance: As with any senior leadership position, maintaining a healthy work-life balance can be challenging. Principals often work long hours, travel extensively, and face significant project-related pressures.
3. Talent management: Principals are responsible for managing and developing their teams, ensuring the right resources are in place, and providing guidance and mentorship. Balancing these responsibilities with client demands can be demanding.
4. Business development: Principals are expected to generate new business, expand client relationships, and contribute to the firm’s growth. This requires strong networking, sales, and relationship-building skills, which can be demanding for individuals who primarily excel in delivering client projects.
5. Competition: The consulting industry is highly competitive, and maintaining a competitive edge can be challenging. Principals must continuously stay up-to-date with industry trends, innovative solutions, and emerging technologies to provide clients with the latest insights and strategies.

Are there any additional perks or incentives for high-performing principals at Deloitte Consulting?

Yes, high-performing principals at Deloitte Consulting may receive additional perks and incentives as a reward for their exceptional contributions. These can include:

1. Performance-based bonuses or profit-sharing: Principals who consistently exceed performance expectations and achieve exceptional results may receive higher bonuses or a share of the firm’s profits.

3. Leadership opportunities: Exceptional principals may be offered leadership roles within the firm, such as leading a specific industry practice or a strategic initiative. These roles provide additional visibility, influence, and opportunities for career advancement.

It is important to note that while these perks and incentives are available, they are typically reserved for a small fraction of top-performing principals who consistently demonstrate exceptional performance, leadership, and business impact.

What skills are essential to being a successful principal at Deloitte Consulting?

Successful principals at Deloitte Consulting possess a combination of technical and soft skills. Some of the essential skills for this role include:

1. Strategic thinking: Principals need to think strategically and help clients develop long-term, sustainable solutions to complex business problems.

5. Business development and sales acumen: Identifying new business opportunities, nurturing client relationships, and winning new projects requires excellent business development and sales skills.
6. Adaptability and resilience: The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment is crucial for principals. Adapting to new client industries, technologies, and project demands is essential.
7. Industry and domain expertise: Deep knowledge and expertise in specific industries or sectors allow principals to provide valuable insights and guidance to clients.

1. Mentorship programs: Deloitte Consulting encourages principals to engage in mentorship programs to provide guidance, support, and career advice to junior colleagues.
2. Learning and development: The firm provides various training and development programs to enhance technical, leadership, and industry-specific skills. These programs range from workshops and seminars to e-learning platforms.
3. Thought leadership and publishing: Deloitte Consulting values thought leadership and encourages its principals to contribute to industry publications, publish whitepapers, and present at conferences. These activities enhance visibility within the industry and contribute to professional growth.
4. Networking opportunities: Deloitte Consulting organizes internal and external networking events, conferences, and forums to facilitate collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional connections.
5. International assignments: The firm may offer principals the opportunity to work on international assignments, which provide exposure to different markets, cultures, and business environments.

5. Diversity and inclusion: Deloitte Consulting places a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusion. The firm encourages individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences to contribute their unique perspectives and foster an inclusive working environment.
6. Work-life integration: While maintaining work-life balance can be a challenge at the principal level, Deloitte Consulting promotes work-life integration by providing resources and support that help individuals balance their personal and professional responsibilities.

Overall, the work culture at Deloitte Consulting is dynamic, collaborative, and focused on delivering exceptional client service while fostering personal and professional growth.

What career opportunities exist outside of Deloitte Consulting for principals?

Principals at Deloitte Consulting possess a wealth of skills and experiences that can open doors to various career opportunities, both within and outside the consulting industry. Some potential career paths for principals include:

1. Executive positions in other industries: The leadership experience and industry expertise gained as a principal can be transferable to executive roles in diverse industries. Many organizations value the strategic thinking, problem-solving abilities, and business acumen that principals bring.
2. Corporate strategy or business development roles: Principals often have a deep understanding of business strategy, market dynamics, and growth opportunities. This makes them well-suited for corporate strategy or business development positions within organizations seeking to expand or improve their market position.
3. Entrepreneurship and startups: The experience of leading client engagements, identifying business opportunities, and building strong networks can provide a solid foundation for starting a new venture or joining an early-stage startup.
4. Executive search or talent management roles: Principals’ expertise in evaluating talent, managing teams, and developing organizational strategies can be valuable in executive search or talent management roles. Helping organizations attract and retain high-caliber leaders is a natural fit.
5. Academia and teaching: Some principals may explore opportunities in academia, leveraging their industry knowledge and expertise to teach or conduct research in universities or business schools.
6. Independent consulting or freelance work: Experienced principals may choose to work independently as consultants, offering their services on a freelance or contract basis.

These are just a few examples of the diverse career opportunities available to principals both within and outside the consulting industry. The path chosen will depend on individual interests, aspirations, and personal circumstances.

In conclusion, the compensation for a principal at Deloitte Consulting is highly competitive and can vary based on factors such as experience, performance, location, and industry expertise. While the average salary ranges from $400,000 to $600,000 per year, it is important to consider the comprehensive benefits and incentives that Deloitte Consulting provides. Furthermore, becoming a principal requires a combination of education, experience, expertise, leadership skills, and a track record of exceptional performance. The role of a principal comes with its own set of challenges, such as high client expectations, demanding work hours, and the need for continuous personal and professional growth. However, the rewards and opportunities for career advancement are substantial for those who excel in this prestigious position at Deloitte Consulting.

Work at Deloitte: placement, tests, interview

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd (Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, DTTL, Deloitte, DTTL) is an audit firm that occupies a leading position in the “big four” of the world’s largest audit firms.
This is the largest network in terms of the number of employees – about 290 thousand in the world. Of these, 7 thousand in Russia and the CIS were at the end of 2020.

As of April 2022, Deloitte no longer operates under its own name in Russia and Belarus. According to our data, the staff was retained with minor cuts and relocations. Business activity is preserved, but completely withdrawn from the head structure of Deloitte. Under what name of the company the former employees of this company will work in Russia and Belarus is still unknown. Therefore, unfortunately, many of the data from our article, which was written at the end of 2020, are no longer relevant. We will follow the news in this area and update the article.

The company has a wide network of representative offices in the CIS. Deloitte branches are located in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ufa, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Vladivostok (Russia), Kiev (Ukraine), Minsk (Belarus), Tbilisi (Georgia), Baku (Azerbaijan), Aktau, Alma-Ata, Astana, Atyrau (Kazakhstan), Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan), Tashkent (Uzbekistan) and Dushanbe (Tajikistan).

Deloitte’s largest Russian clients are Rosbank, Zenit Bank, AFK Sistema, MMC Norilsk Nickel, Aeroflot, MTS and others.

Benefits of working for Deloitte

Deloitte is a company with a highly developed corporate culture and human resources management system.

Among the advantages of working in this company, Deloitte employees themselves name:

• clear career prospects
• huge valuable work experience
• high demand in the labor market
• good team
• corporate training and internships
• the prestige of working in a company with that name
• corporate clubs, sports sections, circles

Career opportunities at Deloitte are proven by numerous examples. Most of Deloitte’s top executives, including its CEO Puneet Rengen, come from the bottom of the company. Moreover, most of the company’s managers receive their post before the age of 30, and the status of a partner is often up to 35 years.

Disadvantages of working at Deloitte

A characteristic feature of all large consulting and auditing companies is called a huge amount of work. The norm in these companies is the daily work of 10-12 hours. Overtime is not paid, but, on the contrary, without them it is impossible for Deloitte to comply with accepted standards and receive decent pay. Mistakes are followed by harsh criticism and deductions from salaries.

Deloitte employees report that it is difficult for them to balance their personal life and work. Deloitte is more suitable for young people who are ready to look at the monitor from dawn to dusk every day, giving up everything else. Overwork and nervous tension from responsibility often lead to exhaustion and disease. In Big 4 companies, there are frequent cases of problems with pressure, heart, eyes, nervous system in people under 30 years old. Deloitte employees often don’t have time for the gym, friends, dates and family, they only have work to do. It should be noted that the company is also trying to organize recreation for employees – the company has sports sections, clubs, and lounges in offices. Quite often, outdoor parties and holidays are held.

We list the main problems in Deloitte regarding work:

• low starting salary
• severe criticism for errors
• system of fines for employees
• overloaded offices (large open space, small closets, noisy, 1 toilet for 50-60 employees)
• Vacation available only in summer (busy season from October to May)

Pros and cons: conclusions

Summing up the list of advantages and disadvantages of working at Deloitte, its employees say that it is definitely worth getting a job at Deloitte. The main value of the Deloitte experience is that after it it will be easy for you to get a job and work in any other large foreign or Russian company of any profile. For example, if you conducted an audit or consulting for the metallurgical sector, it is likely that you will be hired there immediately for a good position. That is, as an intermediate career stage, Deloitte is one of the best options. Note that the company knows and uses such a strategy. New employees are in for a very difficult first 2-3 years – a lot of work and training is hung on them.

However, according to employees, if a valuable specialist leaves Deloitte, the company helps him get a job in a new promising place – he gives good recommendations and advice on how to get hired. Consulting companies are always insured, they know that you can be a big shot, and it’s better to be friends with you.

If you are young, ambitious and willing to work 80 hours a week, you will grow rapidly at Deloitte. By the age of 30-35, there is a real opportunity (according to our calculations, the chance is 1 in 25-30) to get the status of a Deloitte partner. And this is not just a salary, it is a percentage of the company’s profits. The average income of a partner is about 1 million euros per year, depending on the performance of his department.

Concerning the comparison of Deloitte with other Big 4 companies and what is the difference between them, we bring to your attention a separate article on this topic Everything you wanted to know about the Big Four – PWC, E&Y, KPMG, Deloitte In the same article, we made a detailed overview of the salary level in Deloitte and other Big Four companies and the timing of career growth.

How to get a job at Deloitte

Here are the words from the interview of Vedomosti newspaper with the CEO of Deloitte Global Punita Renjen in 2015: “This year, 60,000 specialists will be hired by our firm. We have 3.5 million resumes to consider, but we will only hire 2% of all applicants.”

Concerning the qualifications of an applicant, Puneet Renjen remarked: “Broadly speaking, two aspects must be looked at. The first aspect is applied: your achievements in your studies, as well as everything that you have achieved, doing beyond the required program. The second aspect is personal: integrity of character, the ability to work in a team and manage it, as well as contribute to the common cause. I think a combination of both is needed.”

According to HR Deloitte employees, applicants are required to:

• highly motivated to work
• determination
• leadership qualities
• advanced communication skills
• professional knowledge
• liability
• ability to work both in a team and independently

Testing at Deloitte

Deloitte collaborates with SHL on tests. For each department Deloitte uses its own test, consisting of questions to test professional knowledge (accounting, finance, taxes), the level of knowledge of the English language, psychological, numerical, verbal and logical tests.

Important : Some departments use testing entirely in English. That is, all tests will not be in Russian, but in English. For example, this practice is used in the Deloitte office in Kyiv. For Kyiv, and other offices, knowledge of the English level is not lower than Upper-Intermediate according to TOEFL. Questions in English are also taken from TOEFL questionnaires. It also happens that the initial interview in the Kiev office is also conducted in English, but most often in Russian.
(On our website, all tests are in Russian, but if you were told that the tests will be in English, let us know and we will help).

Testing is carried out in the office on company computers, usually with a group of applicants.

The Deloitte Audit Department conducts the following tests – 2-hour test on a computer with 6 sections:

1. questionnaire about work preferences (for example, “In my workplace, everything is neatly placed, stacked, and not lying in a mess” answer options: “true”, “not true”, “difficult to answer”)
2. logical abstract thinking ability tests (logical)
3. psychological test
4. accounting test (according to PBU, postings, IFRS in English, audit, taxes)
5. English test
6. numerical + verbal test

Deloitte Operational & Strategic Consulting uses tests:

1. numeric test
2. logical abstract thinking ability tests (logical)
3. verbal analysis
4. accounting test (PBU, general concepts, postings, general audit)
5. English test
6. essay about yourself and your goals for working at Deloitte in English (Motivation letter)

Testing in Deloitte Tax Department includes 2 stages, which are held on different days. To get to the second stage, you must first pass the first:
Stage 1: numerical + verbal + logical test and English language test
Stage 2: professional and psychological tests

Deloitte tax department professional test includes:

1. taxation closed test 20 questions (corporate taxes)
2. open-ended questions of the following nature: the main difficulties in calculating the payment of taxes on export, describe the types of tax audits and their differences, the amount of fines for non-payment of taxes; who pays property tax, who does not; VAT deduction items; what taxes does UTII replace, etc.
3. Short essay (given 30 minutes): for example, “Company tax mistakes, how to avoid them”, “What is your dream?” – can be both in English and in Russian

The Deloitte Test for Logical, Verbal and Numerical Ability serves as a test of your ability to quickly and correctly read and understand texts, graphs and tables. According to staff, Deloitte tests are not difficult if you prepare for them.

SHL Numeric Tests for Deloitte

SHL numeric tests always contain graphs, tables and charts. You don’t need to solve complex calculations – only four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as well as the definition of fractions and percentages. We recommend repeating the principles of finding shares and percentages – if you have not solved mathematical problems for a long time, this can cause difficulties.

These tests almost always include currency conversion tasks – pay special attention to this when preparing. 60-9 is given to solve one task0 seconds, usually in a numerical test 15-20 tasks. In SHL tests, it is allowed to switch from one question to another and back. Therefore, if a question is too difficult and it is not clear how to solve it, leave it and solve others, and return to it later if there is time.

Deloitte English Proficiency Test

As we mentioned above, the Deloitte test is based on the Upper-Intermediate TOEFL tests. Usually there are 100 questions in the test, but the questions themselves, according to Deloitte employees, are not difficult. Usually they will include the following tasks:

• insert an article or a missing word in a sentence
• fix a mistake in sentence
• choose a word similar in meaning
• link a word and its description

The average passing score on the Deloitte English Proficiency Test is 75% correct. Note that most applicants score higher. A good score on this test counts towards your overall score on all tests.

The definition of test criteria and passing score is usually announced before the start of the test. It might sound like this: a passing score on the logic test, numerical and verbal tests – 60%, on the professional test – 70% and on the English language test – 75%. If your results turned out to be 55%, 75% and 85%, then the HR department of Deloitte usually meets halfway and with such a result for the rest of the tests, it counts you 55% for numerical tests as a passing one.

If the result of the applicant is 59%, 70% and 74%, then even such a small amount may not be enough to go to the next stage. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully prepare for testing so that your result is 80-90% in all tests and you, as a candidate for a Deloitte vacancy, are out of competition.

The result of passing the test in some departments is reported immediately, and in some it is necessary to wait from 2 to 7 days until HR specialists finish analyzing the data of all applicants.

Tests cut off up to 80% of unprepared applicants. Those applicants who have passed the test are invited to the first interview.

Initial interview

In Deloitte regional offices in recent years, this stage is omitted – after the tests you are immediately invited to an interview with the head of the department in which you want to get a job. But in Moscow, Kyiv and other capitals, the interview takes place in two stages:

1. interview only with a Deloitte HR representative
2. interview with 2-3 managers and head of department

The first interview will discuss your test scores and then the details of your resume. Questions might sound like this:

• What are your most significant accomplishments?
• What were your favorite and least favorite subjects at the university and why?
• Have you taken part in educational programs, grants, exchanges?
• Do you belong to any public organizations?
• Besides Deloitte, have you tried or are you currently trying to work for other Big 4 companies?
• If you receive invitations from all companies, which one will you choose and why?
• What draws you to Deloitte?
• What do you know about Deloitte and working at Deloitte?
• How can you contribute to Deloitte?

As you can see, most of the questions are about your personality and motivation. It is also very important to Deloitte that you can demonstrate teamwork skills and a focus on results.
If you can show it, you will receive an invitation to the final interview.

Final interview

Deloitte’s second or final interview is an interview with the head of the department. This will be a more complex and lengthy conversation, which lasts an average of 1-2 hours.
The questions are partly replicated from the first Deloitte interview, partly a test of your professional knowledge. You may be asked several questions about accounting, taxes, auditing, knowledge of the current economic situation in the country and the world.

Tips from HRLider:

• make sure you stay up to date with the latest news that matters to the audit and consulting industry;
• prepare to tell about yourself and what is important for you in your future work at Deloitte, list what you would like to work on;
• think about the main reasons why you want to work at Deloitte and in the direction you have chosen.

In the end, you will be told about the system of work in the company and how it will look like working in that specific position where you get a job.

During the interview, you can and should ask questions, as this is your chance to find out if working at Deloitte suits your goals. We recommend that you read our article “8 Smart Questions for an Employer”

In Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kyiv and Astana in recent years, Deloitte has introduced a new practice – business games (cases) and a cocktail party. According to the feedback of employees and applicants in the regions, this is not the case.
If after the final interview you were invited to another stage, it means that there are still doubts about you and your future potential leader wants to see how you will show yourself in real work on the project – in this case, a training case. The case, most likely, will not be for accounting or taxes, but for teamwork.

It looks like this:
The group of applicants is divided into 2 teams and given the same case for the audit of the enterprise. Next, the members of each team will have to explain the decision to the head and managers of Deloitte, who will ask many clarifying questions.

After the case is defended, the cocktail party itself follows – informal communication with all participants and representatives of Deloitte and refreshments from the company. Everyone who participated in such a party notes that the atmosphere is very friendly. Managers of the company make contact with each candidate and allow them to ask them about any details you are interested in. Remember: in such an informal setting, work is also underway – they look at you and right at that moment a decision is made whether you will take a vacancy at Deloitte.

Advice: try to show yourself as an adequate interesting person and communicate with managers and directors, they decide whether or not to hire you. If you remember, in a day you will receive a call from HR and a job offer.

Remember: thorough preparation is the key to success. It is better to spend a day or two preparing for tests and an interview at Deloitte now than to regret the missed opportunity for a long time later. Start preparing right now!
