Probably an appropriate level.
I need more context to answer your 2nd question… what do you want to know? What’s your motivation for wanting to join?

If you have 4 EoY, it is probably Senior BA, not just BA?

If know people take a step down typically when coming to MBB, but starting all over again after 4 years is harsh - you should have been a good fundamental consulting skill set by that time.

I didn’t see Senior BA roles open when I applied, just BA (which included up to 3YOE) and Associate (but they pointed out this was for people with graduate degrees) so the language was a bit confusing. I’m clarifying with the recruiter but wanted to crowdsource

Hello! I joined a company in the UK 6 months ago, and received a £20,000 gross sign on bonus - clause associated to this however was that I stay for a minimum of 12 months. Unfortunately, the role is really proving to be the wrong fit, and I am looking to leave.

Question for you all - if I resign, I assume I would be expected to pay back the sign on bonus despite me only receiving approx 12k after tax. Anyone know the process for a tax clawback for something like this? Thanks in advance!

Should I have some increment in my new company as to my M.Tech. completion?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
