I have received offer from Shell and SAP labs is in final stage salary discussion. Shell is offering 6 lacs more than @SAP labs. I have tried to negotiate a lot from SAP but they are not ready. They are putting conditions like give your full commitment to join then only we'll release offer letter. I am currently looking for work life balance with growth. Should I join @SAP considering its a Product based and good WLB and learning? Teck Stack - Java/Micro-services/cloud YOE - 11yrs

Knew a guy who came to EY as a senior and was promoted to manager upon arrival. He then left a year later for a SM position at BDO.
Mind you, he was a terrible manager. He had no idea what he was doing. Scary to think BDO saw him and said "Yeah this guy looks amazing".
But I guess, those who know... know BDO but BDO certainly doesn't know
Depends on the office location, team, and practice area. Generally clients are mid-sized companies. You work on multiple clients at the same time. Multiple industries, and type of projects (not very focused like big4). It can be stressful. I worked way more at BDO than I do in big4. Because the teams are smaller you can end up taking responsibilities above your pay grade which can be rewarding but also highly stressful.

It really depends on the office you’re going to and the group there. BDO is hyper local without a strong nationwide culture.
I did in their M&A tax practice. BDO M&A tax is a legit practice and is comparable at margins with big 4. Many people I worked with at BDO were more talented compared to their counterparts at the Big 4 firm I came from (as an SM).
Is that where your offer is by any chance
I think it heavily depends on the office environment. We have few managers from B4 and they actually love it. Will share more details if you are interested! Hmu!
hired a senior associate from BDO a year ago (PwC) and he is an a2 at best
So he lacks casein protein?
What ssl are you going into? I wouldn't go there because whatever they are offering is temporary.
