Being pursued by Wipro Consulting for a partner/practice lead role. Upside both in scope/comp for me. Currently a big 4 MD. Worth pursuing or am I wasting time with them? I am not happy at the current firm but have a decent book of business and therefore safe for foreseeable future. Has anyone had the experience with them and can share perspectives? Appreciate you all.

There has been a lot of discussion on the WITCH firms on this forum in the past. In general, the takeaway can be summed up as “run, it’s a trap”.

Wipro is the Kim K of consulting. Are you Kanye ?

Run. Everything they tell you will be a lie. Ask yourself this - do you enjoy selling and delivering meaningful project work that is impactful to the client business or do you enjoy selling offshore bodies in a staff aug arrangement where you're competing solely on price?

I’m rather surprised to hear this would be an upside in comp. TCS offered me $375k for a Managing Partner level role. That’s not even remotely close to competitive.

They have been pretty aggressively pursuing folks in the market. Principal at Kearney here.

Not sure where you landed on this, but I guarantee it will not be an upside in scope. Despite what they tell you, most people don’t make it past 6 months so they gotta swoon you to make this attractive. Total career killer.

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!
