Technologu Transformation Analyst Review

As a business analyst, I bridge the gap between our software developers and the client's requirements. Day-to-day, we run through daily standups, reviewing project progress and delivery as well as writing tickets and solving problems.

I have developed strong communication skills from regular client contact. I've also learnt to take responsibility for my work. For technical skills, I have developed a better understanding of programming languages such as Javascript, SQL, as well as a better overall understanding of front-end and back-end development.

Placement students are treated the same as someone joining the firm on a grad scheme. I was given a lot of responsibility as well as many opportunities to give my own input and express my ideas.

There's a good structure/system for support and guidance at Deloitte. Everybody has a people leader who is responsible for their wellbeing and speaking on their behalf, and there are many channels to refer to for help. I found that project-specific management is also very friendly and they are always happy to support you throughout the year.

Deloitte has a welcoming work culture where you are heard and you can always ask for help. It's easy to speak to anyone, regardless whether they are a fellow new joiner or a partner at the firm. There are also frequent socials at the firm that are often good fun where you can socialise with your coworkers.

I really enjoyed my placement as it was a good introduction to the consulting industry and corporate world. I was given real responsibility throughout the year and had many opportunities to develop key skills and take part in professional development.

Don't be afraid of asking questions - instead, ask as many questions as you can. You're not expected to know everything and asking the right questions actually shows initiative and inquisitiveness.
