Hi Fishes,
I really need your advice i have a total experience of 4 years(2.8 years at infosys prior MBA(IIM) as a business analyst + 1.3 years at Maruti Suzuki post MBA). At maruti i am mostly working on strategy making mostly on excel. Also, handling the process of 2 of the after-sales products for PAN india.
My problem is I am not able to decide in which area should I look forward to make my career
1. Product/project manager (resume not getting shortlisted)
2. Consulting in IT or big 4

Difficult to get into consulting with auto background.
You can try these-
IT consulting companies- Witch- has consulting openings. Look if you can reach out to SM+ ppl of auto industry consulting vertical of these companies via LinkedIn. They'll give you a chance since your bckgrd is matching. That's your way into consulting. Expect work like supply chain management, business development, BA work at these firms as a consultant. This also can be your base to prepare for a prodman profile and switch in 2-3 yrs again for proper Prodman role.

Look for better automotive companies- this highly depends on location preferences since you don't get wfh in this industry.

Leverage your pre sales side of profile for landing an interview at flipkart or other ecomm as BD manager role. I have friends who went to flipkart as BD mgr from Maruti. Use your alumni to land an interview. Once you get in ecomm, you'll progress faster as compared to auto.

Maruti offers 16-18 for iim grads. I am assuming you're in similar range. Next job can you aim for 20+ fix.

Hi fishes,

I received an offer from big 4 with 60% hike. My managers wants to retain and I asked them to match if you want me to be retained.
Now I got a call from GPM yesterday. He used harsh words like "being greedy" "selfish" etc and offered me 30% in the end.
I politely declined but he asked me to reconsider as he said "it would be unfair for the org for you to leave so soon."

Let me know a proper response.

Also what do you think of this behavior by GPM?

I got an offer from a company A with 90% increment on CTC and in other company B at 130% increment on CTC. I'm totally confused which one to choose. Here are some pointers regarding the two:
1)A has both fixed and variable whereas B has fixed. So 130% will be fixed.
2)A is brand company B is paying really well.
3)B has sure short onsite opportunities.
Not sure which one to go for. Any help/suggestion would be great..

I want to switch but wanted to know what would be decent hike in reputed or mid size org. I would not like to take into consideration the start up as they may pay quite high when compared to a large size organization.

18-20 L fixed is my analysis.
