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. 🙂
