Currently a post-MBA at a T2 strategy firm focused on M&A (pre and post deal) in North America on a shaky visa/PERM. I’m considering an offer to join the EY-Parthenon India practice for a move back home for a mid-senior role. Looking for “on-the-ground” truth on:

1) Project mix - CDDs/ vs meatier StratOps

2) Culture: Collaborative or top-down/siloed vs MBB/T2 at M/SM/Dir levels?

3) Biggest transition hurdles for overseas returnees (have past India ops exp)?

4) Firm/practice growth trajectory

But all do same work.
