Very much frustrating about the fact that there is always problem in approving leaves.
Company allows 12 annual leave, 6 casual leaves which is low also in india.
Here it's considered good, if people dknt take off and work more
But when I ask 2 weeks off, they will never agree.
Same happened in past.
Is it same in every consulting ? Big 4/accenture?
People who are passionate about traveling, how do you manage to get leaves ?
Specially for international travel which needs min 2 to 3 weeks.

Would I have a better shot at working in Big 4 advisory if I worked at Protiviti?

I’ve done a year in b4 audit, and a year in a different b4 FDD. I’ve been all but told that I’ll be able to jump to A&M in early 2023, and I intend to do it; the pay bump is insane. However, I have received significant pushback from my family and mentors, claiming that a third job in three years will look awful on my resume, and that I’ll hurt myself in the long run by doing this. Is this really that bad of a look?

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs
