Consultants at Deloitte are assigned to teams that work with corporate clients for a fixed number of days. As a particular task is completed or the contractual relationship between client and Deloitte ends, consultants "roll off," and are reassigned to other tasks or teams. Each consultant has a staffing manager, who surveys current corporate contracts and tries to match consultants who are looking for assignment with an existing client and team needs. Sometimes we get assigned to a project that is just about to "start up." At other times, we join a contract / team that is already in progress. It's very complicated!
As our time in Hyderabad begins to wind down, some of us could be "be extended" with the teams and clients with whom we are now working. Others of us plan to "roll off" and begin the process of identifying a new team / client to join, as we return to the United States. The goal of course, is to find a placement that takes advantage of all the new SAP skills that we have learned as a result of our Immersion Program experience.
Because I have been working largely with an accounts payable function, I'm anxious to be re-deployed on a materials management task. I've been in touch with my staffing manager and sent my resume to several other partners and project managers with whom I have built relationships over these past ten weeks. So ... I'm hoping for an early Christmas present from my staffing manager in Philadelphia! More about this as events warrant.
