Deloitte / InsideSherpa Tech Consulting Virtual Internship



Did you know?

Before Covid-19, employers were rather stingy on helping graduates, new or not so new, with internships, often having a very limited time frame that they cared about you.

Not so with Deloitte and InsideSherpa! Check it out here. It was free, and a project to talk about, so I did it. Turns out that consulting is pretty cool.

I've enjoyed thinking about the best solutions to bring a business to the cloud, or online. 

  It's not all just 'Set up a Cloud account and have at it'. My Azure certification gave me a leg up on one of the projects; I was more minute than they expected at points.

It did show me that I can do remote work; Work is often already an invasion on someone's life and time. Being able to take my time and work when I wanted to without being burned out was a nice perk.

If you still have your school e-mail address, you can sign up with that. I haven't tried it with a business address.

This is basically "What does Deloitte do?" with four sections;


  • Cloud Engineering
  • Optimization and Delivery
  • Technology Strategy and Innovation
The fourth segment is a video interview to pitch yourself, which is optional.

Personally, the Optimization and Delivery one was the most challenging. It was more steeped in business jargon than the other two, though I did get there in the end through diligent research and re-doing the projects.

Cloud Engineering was the most fun. There's a lot of 'outline all the tech considerations'. Things I thought were important ... were still important. I was thinking big picture, and didn't think a tech company wanted to hear something minute - "Consider the OS" - But they did, and it's good to know people care about details.

Here is a section from a Cloud Engineering segment:

Companies interested in hiring me can send a LinkedIn message for full works.

You are more than welcome to put the completed course on your resume and LinkedIn page.

If companies want to be seen as caring, modern, flexible places someone may want to invest their time into...they should consider a virtual internship program. This is actual, tangible help.

Making KPI Dashboards with PowerBI

 While this is the free tier, I cannot share or collaborate with others, nor can I publish content to other people's workspaces, but they will not stop me from screenshooting and recording these self-taught adventures,so! I'm doing this because I idly searched "Mattel careers" and "Information Technology", and seeing a bulletpoint saying the following: Analytical and reporting skills such as creating dashboards and establishing KPIs such as experience with PowerBI, Cognos, Tableau, and Google Data Lake/AWS is preferred And thought "Well, I've used Tableau, and I've heard about PowerBI,  even if its in-demandness is questionable , so how similar is it? And can I write about it?"  First, PowerBI (PIB) does have a downloadable, local version, but apparently Windows-only. I could download the .exe but I couldn't run it / drag it to applications on my MacBook.  Not a problem, we'll use the online SaaS version, and a dataset found here, ...

A 2-week Trial of T-Mobile Home Internet

     The Xfinity app showed usage of the past 3 months: We used less than 40% each month, for about $80 USD a month.   No thanks! That cuts into the movie budget! Before we save some money (about $15/mo), let's test how T-Mobile Internet unlimited data works for 2 weeks.    There are 15 devices for this test; Smart TVs: 4 Laptops: 4 Printer: 1 Smart Home Speakers: 3 Game Consoles: 1 Phones: 1 (There are other phones in the home but they stick with data) Other: 1 Total : 15  I made tables for 3 entries a day across 3 days to test the Xfinity service we have. Here's one;   Xfinity is pretty speedy - Download times are between 227 - 236 Mbps, Latency between 24.5 - 25.5, Jitter between 5 - 6.68, and 0 packet loss.  Let's quickly define the terms in the table;    Date/Time - The date and time of the data gathered. Download (Mpbs) - How fast your network gets data. Upload (Mbps) - How fast your network uploads data. Latency ...

Recon and SSID - Mapping With VisiWave Site Survey

My laptop is refurbished. I've written about how there are a few ... quirks. Being a technology professional, I felt okay with adopting an older machine, knowing I had the skill to fix moderate issues. From dying drivers to monitor massacres, I've ID'd, solved, and documented a lot of issues.  The newest one was my Wi-Fi adapter dropping the connection to a specific extender. While troubleshooting, I was curious about doing recon of WiFi networks and broadcasting devices anyway. That issue? A power setting. It was so determined to save power, it would disconnect. The extender is also flirting with the older end of 6 years old.  The battery needs to be replaced, but that's new to me. As a Windows laptop, there are a plethora of options to pick. How do you decide which one is safest?  I am suddenly concerned about this despite having 3 unofficial, 15$ Macbook Air chargers from eBay, and no explosions. But let's move onto the Site Survey - Where can I find the stronges...
