Well, as it turns out, Deloitte. might become the first company to employ me. 
Only day before yesterday they confirmed my placement when they came to IITK. BusinessWeek says that it is the No. 1 place to start you career. Might be true for US recruits but is it true for India too? I think I’ll have to join them to find out.
The profile they have offered me is IT consultant. According to their website my responsibilities are:
Responsibilities:
- Understand business processes & requirements. Gather and maintain relevant and accurate data. Provide timely and accurate analysis report and documents
- Have a good understanding of architecture/standards/design/program specifications. Prepares and assists in design
- Understand system architecture and maintenance strategies and assists in set up/configuration. Helps in execution of maintenance plans
- Follows standards/guidelines laid down in development & documentation
- Familiarity with use of standard technology tools and helps in developing/enhancing the same. Understand the benefits derived by using the firm tools, processes and methodologies
- Demonstrate understanding of quality practices, tools, systems and methodologies and produce project deliverables in line with the same
- Understand different types of testing methodologies and execution of test plans and use testing tools effectively
- Familiar with implementation plan on client operations and work per committed timelines
- Understand role in client relationship building
- Contribute in analyzing and gathering data with respect to industry best practices with regard to engagement delivery, performance and processes
- Actively seek placement in projects
- Take initiative to learn new technologies and methodologies without affecting engagement delivery capability for certification
- Demonstrate effective listening and clarity in articulation
- Demonstrate clarity and conciseness in written communication
Whatever the website says, in short I am a software developer which also took 5 minutes of explaining by the HR guy also. coz they want to show it as though it is not a coding job which explains the title of ‘IT consultant’. May be some years down the road it may evolve into more of a consulting job for a person joining now. I can only hope coz that’s what i would like to believe.
