I would say designation matter less as you may end up doing the same work

Yeha then go for one paying highest . If difference is just couple of lakhs I would say think hard.

Consultant in small firm, if the work is actually of a consultant and if you've already been working as an analyst. If you're switching from a different industry, analyst makes more sense.

In that case consultant makes way more sense to me, I hope you're seeing better pay at consultant role. Boutique firms are really great in terms of exposure and benefits. Btw, what life sciences firm are you talking about (if you're comfortable telling about it)?

Go for the one which pays more. But if pay is more or less same then big 4 because it's easier to exit/ switch with a big 4 tag.

Again posting since my last post did not got attention. Wanted to ask whether it's good to switch to big 4 India advisory role from a mid tier organization dealing in tech and ops. Additionally, they offered just very low percentage on current CTC saying that I am coming to a big brand.
Plus my current financial situation is stressful and I accepted the offer on certain conditions but now hr or the firm but saying we can't committ you. Any suggestions.
