Life at Deloitte: Real Stories from Our Graduates
What’s it really like to start your career at Deloitte?
We could tell you about the projects, the training, the networks, and the support - but we think it’s better to hear it straight from the people who’ve lived it. That’s why we asked a few of our early career professionals to share their stories.
From making an impact in their first month to building lasting friendships and discovering what drives them, our grads prove that your first role doesn’t have to feel like starting at the bottom. At Deloitte, you’ll be challenged, supported, and empowered from day one.
Here’s how our grads are making their mark:
Tanvi: Building Confidence and Finding Belonging
Starting out in the Technology & Transformation team, Tanvi quickly found that Deloitte’s supportive culture helped her grow more than just technical skills - it helped her grow in confidence. Whether it was receiving mentorship or having her ideas heard in team meetings, she says feeling truly included made all the difference.
“It’s not just about the technical work - the people here really value your ideas, even when you’re new. It gave me the confidence to speak up and contribute.”
From learning new technologies to feeling part of a genuinely inclusive culture, Tanvi says Deloitte has helped her grow personally and professionally — all while feeling like she truly belongs.
Harrison: Discovering the Power of Flexibility
As someone who values variety and balance, Harrison was drawn to Deloitte’s flexible working culture. What he didn’t expect? The sheer breadth of opportunities - from jumping between service lines to contributing to major client work early on.
“The flexibility has been huge - not just in how I work, but in the different teams and types of work I get to experience.”
For Harrison, flexibility isn’t just about working hours - it’s about being empowered to shape your career. At Deloitte, he’s found a place where he’s encouraged to carve out his own path, supported by the right guidance every step of the way.
Jessica: Making a Real-World Impact
Coming from a psychology background, Jessica wanted to find purpose in her work, and she found it in Deloitte’s Human Capital team. From helping clients navigate change to championing well-being in the workplace, she’s making a difference every day and thriving in an environment where soft skills are just as valued as technical ones.
“I’ve always wanted my work to have purpose. Here, I’m helping organisations create more human, supportive workplaces and learning every day.”
Jessica says the most rewarding part has been the culture of encouragement and collaboration. Whether she’s tackling a client challenge or speaking up in team meetings, she knows her voice matters.
Thai: Embracing the Challenge
For Thai, joining the Data & AI team meant stepping into uncharted territory. But instead of feeling daunted, he found the challenge exciting. With strong support and plenty of on-the-job learning, he’s now contributing to meaningful projects and sharpening his technical edge.
“Even as a grad, I’ve had a say in the direction of our work. I’m constantly challenged - in the best way - and learning from some of the smartest people I’ve ever met.”
Thai’s advice for future grads? Be curious, be open, and don’t underestimate what you can achieve early in your career.
