When accounting goes unaccounted for
That’s it. That’s the story.
Published today in India’s business paper The Economic Times:
Deloitte plans to have around 30% of its workforce operating from India within the next four years, with an estimated total employee count ranging from 150,000 to 160,000, as the country figures prominently in the firm’s global growth plans, according to Romal Shetty, CEO, Deloitte South Asia.
Discuss.
From the mailbag by way of a Deloittian in Rahmville:
[O]ur PPD (Principal, Partner, Direct) group has received word that PWC is going to send recruiting letters to every [Financial Services Industry] senior in the Chicago and New York offices. Apparently the letter states PWC is willing to offer $15,000 more than what Deloitte is paying.
The PPD group had a meeting with all of the FSI managers in Chicago yesterday regarding this situation. On top of that, all Seniors in FSI received a meeting request today from the PPD group. The meeting is schedule for Monday morning and according to the managers, the topic of dicussion is going to be these letters. Now I can’t speak for anyone in New York but in Chicago the PPD group is not taking this lightly. Word as it that one of our senior ranking partners actually called over to PWC. Again this is all a rumor, I have not seen one of these letter but apparently one of our partners said he/she has.
If you happen across this letter, do share it with us.

Deloitte is on the way to becoming Infosys
I worked at Big4 and the quality of work from South Asia is crap. Besides the language barrier, they don’t care because they’re paid crap salaries.
Interesting how none of the commenters nor the author of this post is asking whether this is Deloitte India growing significantly due to in-country growth ops and its headcount is poised to grow to the levels projected by the CEO of Deloitte South Asia, or if the headcount growth is coming from Deloitte US India, which is the offshore arm of the US firm. It’s one thing if it’s growth of client-facing roles within the Deloitte India firm, it’s quite a bit different if the growth is coming from the backoffice functions of Deloitte USI.
It’s offshoring.
And how many India partners will there be? Can anyone say Zero/Notta/None?

This isn’t new. A number of the large tech companies are in the process of getting their teams to determine how much of their workforce can be moved abroad. Taking away jobs from Americans because the labor in other countries is “cheaper” just to save money, offer less benefits, and continue growing…
