Folks, Need your advice. I've got an offer from PwC India. They're offering 19 fixed. I have 10.5 yoe. I just want to make it my last switch. I'm just way too lazy to do this hussle again in future. So, friends please let me know if I should move to PwC for long term. How's the bench policy there ? Do I need to resign if I'm not into project for a certain time ? On a scale of 1-10 how do you rate pwc in terms of job security. PwC PwC India Deloitte Deloitte USI Deloitte India

Which tax specialty pays the most?
Is Deloitte MTS group hiring? Looking to switch
I boomeranged after 6 months in industry. If you still have the good relationships I’m sure the firm would be happy to take you back.
I was a second year when I left and came back as a first year senior with normal pay for an S1 as if I hadn’t left. So comp was closer to what it would be as if I had gone through the normal promotion cycle as opposed to an experience hire type pay. I didn’t really push it that hard though. Probably worth asking for more now considering how much need there is for people.
Came back for culture and i felt much more pigeon-holed to a group/my current job when in industry. IMO any job worth having will push you to your boundaries but there are very few companies that provide the level or resources and flexibility as big 4 firms. Your teams of course will make a difference but assuming you find a group of people you enjoy working with then bug 4 are some pretty good companies to work for. I care about pay, but also value the flexibility, the fact I don’t have to worry about finding CPE or relevant professional content to figure out problems, a well defined career progression, seeing a lot of different transactions/processes/companies/client contacts, and a culture of people that are smart but also driven.
Hope that helps

They’ll take you back. Give it a shot.

Not crazy at all. They might not give you a comp increase from where you’re at now, but they’d likely take you back if you left on good terms. Boomerangs happen fairly often.
No one cares. Every firm needs bodies
I have no actual clue but where it’s only been a few months, I could potentially see whichever big 4 maybe matching vs giving you an additional raise (where they know you already just got one). That said, most are desperately hiring so maybe you can get lucky
No offense but just a curious question, when a firm consider whether take an alumnus back, do they think about loyalty or betrayal? I mean like a former employee left because of money or personal benefit, and later found out it’s not good so wanted to come back, does it hurt the firm’s feeling? Like when we need him, he left, and when he want to come back, why should we give him the chance?

Don’t think they really care on a macro level. On a micro some will take it personal. It’s best for all parties because you’ve gained additional experiences, saw if grass is greener, and now know what you want in a career by returning on good terms.
Talk to them
Most likely they won’t match the pay
Nope - as long as you didn’t burn any bridges. Be prepared for some of the “I told you so” comments!
I dont think you can get a raise that way.
Your perceived value is the same before and after you left. Nothing had changed. Theyll likely hire you back, but at the old salary.
