I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

OP, I dealt with a similar situation. It can get very political very quickly. I would NOT tell your managers/directors/etc even if you don't plan to take it. I did that feeling like it was my duty and it made everything weird for a while. If they give you the paper offer AND you for sure want to accept, then you should tell your team and work out a transition.
OP: D will Buckley because at the end of the day it’s a client - and you will eventually be an influencer for D. Accept the written offer, and then let your SM or PPD know right away. Make it about travel/stability or something else and only incidentally about compensation
2x that much? So from like 80k to 160k??
what city is the client in and what city are you currently in?
How are they paying you that much with zero experience? Take it!
Also came in with a graduate degree
Firm will always put the firm before you, get that offer on paper and sign asap.
OP, I am very curious as a new consultant myself how you were able to stand out to the client to that degree! Very impressive.
OP never asked whether he should take it or not, his question was on how to navigate this situation without effing it up.
Need more deets. What role is it
I told D several months ago they were interested in me, but from here on out I'm going to let the client handle it. I'll be letting them know I'm interested but need something more formal before I'm open about the situation
Get that shit on paper and run with it!
OP, to reiterate you’d be an idiot to not take this. Get it in writing and accept then tell Deloitte
Take it and bail!
Similar thing happened to me. But fortunately at that time, my director was very positive and motivating to take the gig.
I had kept him in the loop and he handled things on the firms side.
Thats said, not every manager/director is like that.
I think you have things under control for now.. so congratulations if it does come through 😁
Similar situation happened with me — working with client who poached me after a year on the project. Salary’s jumping about 75%. Unreal opportunity. I’m already 2+ years into consulting so it was practically a no brainer. Take it OP!!
My view is don’t take the job for money. Money will come - which opportunity presents the best future. With the industry job, can you see yourself being there 5 years from now or what new things are you going to learn. Personally, I would tell the company I am interested, but still considering if staying in Consulting is a better move, so while you want an actual offer, you want a little time to think about it. When you get the offer, go back to D and tell them you are seriously considering taking the job. Mention other reasons along side money to D. Then:
A. If you would really rather stay with D career wise, see if they can increase your salary. If you are as good as you say, they will give you a raise.
B. If you are not that wild about Consulting anyway, then graciously accept the offer, but really thank D along the way and leave the door open that perhaps you will regret it and maybe come back some day.
If you are not sneaky about any of this, you really shouldn’t burn a bridge. The key is giving yourself outs along the way Best of luck.
Don’t listen to SC3. No consulting firm double your salary to match a competing offer, unless you are near partner level. Even with a raise you’d be stuck at the salary band cap for your level and get screwed over next year for raises.
Exactly. None of our companies want to piss off our clients by barring people from making the jump.
Agree with EY1.
@sc2 not saying they would double the salary to match exactly, but they might move it and it would then allow the person to balance the decision a little better to which option gives them a better future and which seems like a better place to work (vs. strictly based on money)
SC2, it's never about just the money. SC3 gave sound advice. Additionally, not being sneaky safeguards against being legally blocked from going to client. D will likely want to at least get some payment for having spent time and energy recruiting and matching D Ops for the client to know about him in the 1st place. I've seen people lose jobs and blocked for trying to circumvent client having to pay fee to the employer consulting firm
Don’t listen to these idiots babble about the non compete. It’s unenforceable in most states and even if it were your company would not want to piss off their current client and you, a future client. Noncompetes only come into play when a higher level employee or partner joins a competitor
