In Reply To: "I have also heard that the D&T Partners don't understand the Consulting work, and therefore focus just on hrs billed, not on value to the firm or client" As I recall, the only focus the partners had under the DC was hrs billed too ... the difference was that they spun lots of BS about value, being the "nice ones" in the consulting arena etc. whereas the beancounters are clearly not so slick. My advice would be ... look to join a boutique firm. Your ex Consulting and industry experience will bring you much more responsibility, opportunity and money than if you went back to Deloitte.
Message: Deloitte years ago used to play up the idea that they're the more people oriented firm and that the culture there is sooo different from all the other (then) Big 6...even then it was a case of putting lipstick on the pig and a classic case of the PR machinery working overtime...these days its 10 times worse with audit running the firm.
