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.

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!
