Interview process will be some one-on-ones with folks across various levels, likely a lunch with a select group, and a case interview. All fairly standard stuff.

Comp and benefits for A&M are frequently discussed. Based on your other comment about how much you’re working, it’s fairly safe to assume you’d be making more at A&M than you are at PwC. The benefits at A&M aren’t great though, so that will somewhat offset the higher comp.

Work-wise, A&M is going to fall in the laggard bucket for any thing related to technology. PwC is miles ahead with tools and offshoring. There will be more manual work, but you’re getting compensated directly for your time.

When you say tools and technology, do you have an example that PWC might have that ANM doesn’t

I messed up my screenshare in a meeting with 2 colleagues and showed my personal email that had scheduling info for my onsite interviews with another company.

How were your experiences when letting it out the bag early like that?

Had a very unpleasant experience with the entire interview process at Paytm. First of all they kept all three rounds in a single day . It started from the morning and ended up till the final round at late evenings. After all the rounds were cleared, the HR asked for the expected package, and when I gave him my quote which was just 35% more than my current CTC, he got reluctant and said we only have a budget of an X amount which was just 10% more than my current CTC. Who on earth does that..?

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
