Worked on the Hill before moving to consulting. I knew a few folks who were staffers less than a year, left for industry/government, then bounced back. It’s all about your network as each Member office / committee is its own little fiefdom and can hire really fast if they want you.

Unless you’re going to a committee or to be a CoS in an office, I can’t imagine it would make much financial sense to go back.

I have 8+ years of experience as a full stack web developer with a strong set of design skills having begun my career in User Experience Design.

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

Hi fishes, what are the chances of Pwc AC bangalore rescinding an offer given the current market condition?
