PwC India Hi folks,
I graduated with Master studies in business at Singapore, and recently moved to India. I am currently looking for a consultant role in strategy functions at big4 in India. Here in India, most of the roles in MC & strategy advisory fills through referrals and campus recruitment, and not posting on the websites. I’d like to connect with people at big4 strategy functions for referrals and to know more about the firms operations
Thanks!

It is a carry-over from India where it is still way more challenging in terms of acceptance than among Indians here. But not that easy to get over generational biases. 54/m and in same boat and also see it. Imagine worse for women in my situation.
Haven't focused on it, to be honest. Separated for a few years now and just focused on teen kids who live with their mom. Was going to focus on it a bit this year and then Covid came along so just haven't. Though not sure that I really want to put myself through the dating apps route.
The notion that something must be wrong with that person that they could not make the marriage work...maybe they are not flexible, adaptable or cannot compromise/adjust is so prevalent. It’s not a women vs. men or who has worse than the other. The society as a whole needs to evolve in their thinking and be more accepting that it didn’t work out between the two people in that marriage given their circumstances.
Can’t speak to the stigma factor that is probably a boomer generation thinking. In fact, statistics show the prospects are better for women to be able to date/marry again compared to men because women stay looking younger at later years vs. men starting to bald or showing their age much earlier...men might also have financial obligations of alimony, child support, etc.
Overall those with less baggage whether it is familial, emotional or financial have better chance of dating again for a fresh start.
I don’t. It’s better to be divorced and happy than in a unhappy relationship. I don’t think the Indian community is as kind however...especially the older generation. Don’t worry - as long as you are happy, it doesn’t really matter what others think 😊
On point VP1! Extending on the thought, those who matter don’t think much of it, those who make a big deal of it don’t matter.
Divorced M here, spoke to a number of folks here and I was a bit flabbergasted, there definitely is a stigma even here. If there are forward looking and constructive Fs here would be happy to talk to understand their PoV
How old are you?
I have a little scepticism. It really depends on why the divorce happened. Some reasons are no brainers (like physical abuse), absolutely get divorced. But when it comes to softer reasons ( like irreconcilable differences) my thought process is along the lines of whether the separation was due to lack of effort or just a reluctance to "adjust". It's very subjective.
Only if life was that easy to breakdown and do analysis, sometimes it’s even difficult to understand
