I have about 4 years of experience and an MBA degree. I have currently joined one of the Big 4s as Consultant but recently got an offer from McKinsey digital as a Knowledge Analyst. Do you think it will be a right decision to take this offer? I am being offered about 20 lpa (including all components)

Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter, to be approved by L4), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa. After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).

I don't have any other offer as of now. What should I do?

Hi Fishes,

Just need an advice if we can ask HR to revise offer letter after accepting it by asking her to increase fixed pay?

This is regarding Accenture offer letter.

Working as CAL Manager with Accenture S&C India. Offered ~GBP 76.5K (fixed plus flexi) at Manager Grade by Deloitte London.

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role

I have a game I love to play at the airport. I find someone who has the most vague resemblance to someone famous and then insist they are that person.

Like "Oh my God, you're Tom Hanks! I love so many of your movies and I think you are great and so funny in interviews. How are you feeling? I heard you had covid?"

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.

Do HCL revise offered salary or counter offer if other in hand offer shared?

Hello l! What is the role of senior analysts in HCL customer advocacy groups.

Hello Fishes,

Deloitte USI is offering me 15LPA fixed and 1lack joining bonus and HCL offering me 23LPA fixed. I've tried to negotiate with deloitte but they are not ready to negotiate and asking me to join on the same CTC which was initially provided. I'm confused to select the company. It would be really helpful if anyone could share their views. Thanks.

Hi fishes,
Need your thoughts.
I am done with my client interview and it went well but they are asking me to come to gugaon location.
I am from Bangalore location.
I directly said to client that I can't since I have my family here.
When I inform this to my manager he is saying how come u say like this to client.according to kpmg policy u need to travel to anywhere to work.
This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?

Which one is better- Zscaler or Mcafee?
(profile - Security researcher)
Zscaler- offering 15.5 CTC (location-
Mohali)
Mcafee- Cleared all the rounds & Hr
round is on Monday ….might get an offer
from them as well. (location- Bangalore).
Current - 8.5 lpa (2yrs YOE)

Hi Fishers,

What is the best time of the year to be in the notice period?

I mean what is the time of the year where requirements in most of the companies are at pick?

Like in Dec and March you will see less requirement due to Christmas and financial year ending. Similar what is the best period?

Because in my previous switch, 15 days were wasted due to Christmas and in March lot of requirements went on hold due to financial year ending.

Thanks

Manger had been real nice to me lately. Not really mentioning small things that I have screwed up even when I think I did. Also manager thinks I am really busy so is giving small ticket items to other team members. Either manager really values me or they don’t care about me any more and pretending they like me while looking for my replacement. Thoughts?

To the Accenture MD’s who potentially increased pay bands…. Great move 👏👏👏 Shows that you haven’t given up all hope on Strategy and definitely making people think twice about jumping.

EY is hiring in Strategy and transactions, if anyone interested DM me.
