Yes

I would recommend Deloitte as it is an immeasurable benefit to you whether you wish to leave after qualification or to stay at Deloitte for many years, either of these is a possibility and with Deloitte you have opportunities to travel and re-locate all over the world as well as having a big 4 professional services firm on your CV which is very highly respected.

Confidence is key, you need to be able to communicate in a friendly and polite manner as well as being able to hold a conversation as lots of your time spent with the firm will involve interacting with the client and meeting new people.
