Alright, could someone explain her job to me? Is this higher brow (and higher paying) than the consulting jobs at Deloitte that people I know from Big 12 and Sec schools routinely get?

Their Strategy and Operations practice competes with (and pays like and is considered as or nearly as prestigious as) McKinsey, BCG, Bain, et al.

The really big accounting/consulting outfits (Deloitte, KPMG, EY, PwC, Accenture, and so forth) have prestigious strategy consulting practices nested inside that definitely bring in top tier talent. Deloitte and the like make bank from Harvard Business School, Stanford, Kellogg, Booth, MIT, etc. grads coming into their strategy practices at the MBA level. These practices will occasionally reach into, say, UGA or Kansas or Texas A&M if a superbly talented prospect presents himself or herself, but it’s not the norm - those people you know are working lower margin consulting work like implementation, operations, tech transformations, and so on.

Deloitte’s S&O practice (if that’s what she was going into) is definitely a premium gig - I will tell you as a grad of an MBA program from which they recruit heavily and as someone who’s been in strategy consulting for 7 years at two of Deloitte’s major strategy competitors that it’s competitive as fricking hell to get an offer from there. Like McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, Google competitive.
