Need honest career advice: Deloitte USI BTA vs TCS Digital (CSE fresher) 🙏

I’m a CSE graduate deciding between 2 offers and would really appreciate honest advice from people working in these roles.

Offer 1: Deloitte USI - Business Technology Analyst (BTA) - 7.6 LPA

Team mention: USI Tax.

Location: Hyd (No relocation needed)

What’s making me anxious is the interview experience...

Both my technical round and managerial round were mostly non-technical:

• business situational/behavioral questions
• asked for brief project explanation
• asked to think of a business idea and explain it to a client without technical jargon

Very little hardcore technical discussion.

Then I checked my interviewers’ LinkedIn profiles only to realize that all (from other panels as well) had started as SAP consultants 😭and are now managers & senior managers at Deloitte.

This really has me worried that I might get pushed into SAP .

I'm not really aware of SAP opportunities but am highly worried that it might be too irrelevant to my BTech degree .😭

I know that it has technical and functional sides, but my concerns:

- It might narrow down my experience or field to just SAP and hence the opportunities. I would not have much to put on my resume unlike other tech roles.( Getting locked into one ecosystem too early)

- I wont have much to learn. In SAP, only ABAP has coding. **No offense to anyone into SAP🥲

- Worst part is getting into functional. I'd rather leave😭🤧( totally non-tech)

Also, I might go for MTech / higher studies after 1–2 years (not fully sure yet), so I don’t want to end up in a role that doesn’t help my technical profile.

Offer 2: TCS Digital - 7.09LPA.

Location: Not confirmed( Likely relocation)

I honestly know much less about what freshers actually get here

What I keep hearing: -

“Deloitte is better, go for it. It's difficult to get in there and you got it😑

“TCS growth is slow”

“TCS could also give you SAP. How could you be sure?”

But I’m wondering if people are just reacting to the Deloitte brand 🤷‍♀️

My actual dilemma:😩

Deloitte: What if I assume SAP / non-dev and reject it… but they might’ve actually given me an SE / technical role? (I’ve seen seniors from my college, placed similarly through campus, later getting software engineering roles.)

TCS: What if I choose it assuming better dev chances....and still end up in SAP / support / non-dev work there?

Questions:

1. How likely is Deloitte BTA (USI Tax) to lead into SAP / non-dev work?
2. If someone wants backend / dev / SE roles, is Deloitte BTA a risky choice?
3. What does TCS Digital actually look like for freshers? Do people genuinely get development work?
4. Which option keeps switching opportunities stronger later (product companies / higher studies / dev roles)?
5. If you were a CSE fresher, what would you choose?
6. Genuine question: Is SAP actually a solid long-term career path in terms of pay, growth, and opportunities?

I know it’s in demand, but I’d love to hear from people in SAP - does it offer career growth and exit opportunities comparable to mainstream dev roles, or does it get too niche over time? 🥲

Please especially reply if you’ve worked in Deloitte USI / TCS Digital / SAP 🙏
