For all the folks moving to UK or thinking to, please bear in mind the below things:

1. The cost of living has gone up drastically. Before you accept an offer do calculate in hand salary and net savings to not get disappointed later

2. The increments have been very meagre to nothing (3-5%) compared to double digit inflation. So don’t expect raises like we had in India

3. The culture is very different. You can be on bench for long time and there is a slack period every now & then. Ref Comments

If you’re ambitious and fast grower you will feel weird and bored

4. If you are highly qualified like CA or MBA from top universities you will be working alongside the colleague’s who are just graduates from random fields (psychology, etc)

5. Do check the locations before applying and plan things in advance. There are not much of houses available on rent.

Please talk to people or read their experiences before moving. From what I can see India is rapidly changing, just don’t expect things to be same.
Fin.

Excellent review

Don’t know about you but for me it’s working pretty well. A lot of client facing work. Love the diverse culture here. No micromanaging. The only con is salary but me and my wife fetch 130k annually which is quite good if you see a 3 lakhs savings per month!

Are UK Big4s on hiring freeze?

Yes. Its almost the entire UK market.

Don’t go by aspect of savings only. If you want to have a peaceful life then UK is one of best choice. You can find find pros and cons working anywhere but if you prefer to have stable life, less chaotic daily routine and a better social networking then UK is a place you will be exposed to fully diverse culture. At the same time your beliefs are respected and you can find local communities per your interest. Ample of time to peruse your hobbies and even your children will have a better opportunity to grow as an individual to lead a life in a better way.
Finally, It’s up to an individual how to they want to spent their life.
