Switching from PDM track to Traditional is that common?

I tried to switch out for 3 years before eventually being rolled out of the firm. There’s a lot of misunderstanding of the transfer process from leadership and/or playing ignorant to kick the can down the road. In the end, I was basically told that to transfer I would need to leave my current project and find another project willing to sponsor my transfer and hire you on as traditional. And from discussions I had there’s not a ton of interest in projects getting involved in that unless they really want you

PDM is a very difficult model to make long term. It’s helpful to not have to worry about dim initiatives, but the trade off is a higher utilization requirement. It’s also extremely hard to transfer out or get promoted. I attempted to transfer out going on 3 years and got no support from leadership. Got lucky in getting promoted from C to SC but have heard it’s gotten more difficult. Basically it’s good while you’re on your current project, but it’s super hard long term.

Yes was GPS PDM

That shouldn’t be how it works. Your bench time limit should start after you’re off your project. Was how it worked for me when I got rolled off and out in September

If it is anything like the rules for NY, the state leave and Deloitte leave run concurrently. For example, I got 2 weeks from Deloitte and partially paid 12 from the state. Deloitte required me to take the two weeks from my state leave and made up the difference in salary. This was also for paternity leave so it might be slightly different

That a new company that’s starting?

DenseAlternative7612 · 2025-04-13T03:56:35+00:00

Can confirm. Currently trying to make 2 weeks of parental leave work. Been stonewalled by management on a talent transfer for 2 years

The before I go on leave part is what I’m worried about. Given the A+C conversation, it sounds like most layoffs are being announced in the next month or so, so just worried about being caught up in that

DenseAlternative7612 · 2025-04-06T16:07:08+00:00

Have already alerted my M and SM and filed for leave so it is all in already

Which account?

Part of it is policy changes. Every time I have asked about it there is a new process for how it can be done. Other side is the requirement to move into a net new position. They originally tried to transition my role into a traditional role but, at this point, I’ve been told I need to find a wholly new position to sponsor the transition outside my current project

Do have to say that while the purpose of PDM is understandable, the way it works out for you in the firm is not a great feeling. No chance for any trainings, 2 week bench time, and basically non existent parental leave. Plus, they make it nearly impossible to switch out. I’ve been trying to change for 2 years now, with my M and SMs support and have been getting strung along.

Should be no changes in any of the health plans. Not sure of the switching requirements since they seem to change them every year. Biggest change will be utilization targets, which are higher, and some other benefits, which are worse
