Can anyone advise me on TCS M&A management consulting group?

I was approached by a recruiter and I have scheduled an interview. However, the main driver for my decision was the 25% bump in my base. Will my CV suffer a hit moving from Pwc to TCS? My role within the deals practice is focused on tech/IT. Curious to hear what others think.

Wow who is this Strategy & Consulting manager? 😂 lives in a dream world… I used to be at MBB and never even once did I compete with TCS for work & on multiple times with S&.. Perhaps that’d help… TCS M&A c’mon seriously 😒

Just shows 😂 reaching conclusions again…

I wouldn’t want TCS on my resume. Strong disagree with person above, I wouldn’t consider the resume of someone from TCS as a real consultant.

Go to LinkedIn. You can plenty of people who made that jump. But doesn’t sound like OP is going for MBB does it? They’re going for it and tech work and you’re telling them to stay at PWC over tata at 25% less pay to soothe your egos.

Op guess you’ll have to make up your own mind on this one. Generally speaking though it’s not surprising that people at one’s own consulting firm will advise them against hopping to another one. I got the same thing from t2 to MBB.

Take the bump. PWC isn’t wildly better than TCS and will stay on your resume anyway, and both companies are big enough that you can make your story whatever you want.

And OP yes your CV will take a hit and a big one. I wouldn’t even care opening a resume if it’s from TCS or Infy or CapG etc.,

😂 fwiw, I’d never get to a sweat shop. Ofc if OPs mindset is to go for short term gains than meaningful career moves, sure (s)he can go for it… and I don’t understand this prestige thing… from s&cm1.. weird argument…
