Hey eveyone. Which one should I prefer after graduating from university: working at a T2 company in Western Europe or working at a MBB company in Eastern Europe while receiving a considerably lower wage in comparation to MBB wages in Western Europe (I would be saving less, about 10k usd compared to T2). I also want to move to NA early on in my career, keeping that in mind would working at a MBB provide me with better opportunities in the future?

Everyone I’ve met from MBB Europe (East + West) has been slightly sleazy / known drug dealer in M7 MBA programs to support living beyond their means. Especially McK ones.

MBB then transfer offices! Easy

If McK as a generalist, might be easier to switch offices

Where in Eastern Europe? Some places are more livable than others...

T2 West Europe if you ask me. Not to insult anyone but from my perspective Eastern Europe offices are not too respected in some firms.

While in probation period in Infosys, she receives a permanent wfh opportunity from a small but fast growing company at 45 lpa fixed. So overall benefit she has is 45-36=9 lacs. Should she leave Infosys and join the new smaller company?
