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.

Agreed… total trap.

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.

Wondering what I should do.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
