"Best time to switch is when you are not really looking to switch"

This is a statement I read on Fishbowl, and looking back at my own experience, it's kind of true, I got the best (in a sense company brand wise) offers when I was relaxed and was casually looking out.

Any Comments? Any thoughts.. ???

True, cracked all the interviews without preparing. Out of them, two were big brands. However, the package they are offering is less, and when I get a promotion at ZS, I can easily get close to that package in a year. Hence, you should work hard to get more certification/skills (breadth+depth)

Now that I think of, it is kinda true in my case too. I got best offers when I was relaxed and casually gave interviews with zero expectations. But I think that’s because I was simply asked to talk about my work and no questions about stuff I needed to explicitly prepare for.

Yeah I also read this comment on Fishbowl and I completely agree with this.

Firms should really start lowering the mandatory retirement age in partnership agreements before these old out of touch partners drive the entire industry into the ground.

Are you eligible to be made partner as a 9th year? What factors go into consideration? Are you expected to generate business before you achieve partner? How much?

Hi Folks,

I'm actively looking for a job change in a profile completely different than what I'm doing currently.
My manager is sending me on-site and this will interrupt my interviews and preparation also.
And by that time if I receive any offer letter, I don't know what should I do?

Shall I reject the on site opportunity or go with it and reject the new offer?
