AC

OP, you're thinking about the title, you should be thinking about the Pay. Best case scenario, imo, is you come in lower but at a high pay. If you're actually equipped to be a step up from the entry level role, you'll be able to coast, learn a ton, and look like a star performer / build credibility.

MBB doesn’t do variable salaries for the same tenure.

Just taking a guess here byr most likely AC

AC - might be able to negotiate some tenure credit, salaries are usually non-negotiable at MBB

I’d also say AC. There are some who are on a more accelerated track (unofficially) so worth talking to folks about that considering your experience

Studied economics at an Ivy League if that helps.

I believe realistically I would be slotted at the Senior Associate Consultant role - but on the website the choices were either AC or C.

You will not be considered for C with only 2 yrs of experience. You can try to make your case during recruiting to come in as a SrAC, but even that will be tough

I've been following Coforge LinkedIn page, and I have decent offer from them. In one call HR said we will be moving towards 5 days work from Office, to which I said I don't mind. Now that aside, their LinkedIn posts everyone at VP SVP levels are joining.. seems like they are growing very fast, as hiring at such high Positions happens only that time.

Question is - whenever I compare Coforge with any other people say avoid Coforge.. Why????
