Hi Fishes,

I recently went through some post about work culture and work life balance experience (quora and glassdoor) in PWC and EY and they seem horrifying. Is work culture really that bad? Asking from a technical consultant's point of view. Is there no work life balance and pay is sub par?

Work life balance in Big4 and mostly all service based companies depends on the team and client. It can be really good in one and really bad in another while being under same organisation.

For sub par pay, if we compare salaries with Product Based companies then it’ll definitely be sub par

Even startups are now paying much more than these Big4s, if you get a good opportunity in a startup or product company pls explore that. Big4 is just a name now like other service company 40-50k people join each year & a bigger number exits each year.. They are always hiring & hide their attrition numbers.

I am only getting calls from consulting firms. Since, I am in integration.

Hi Fishes, I need your all guys guidance on a scenario I am stuck in. I really needed a switch and therefore interviewed at KPMG.

But she is not replying. Due to HR leaving her job, my opportunity is wasted. What should I do now, please guide. KPMG KPMG India

I got an offer ( after 6 months of joining here in Infosys) and informed my lead the same.He spoke with my manager and my manager has agreed to retain me but needs his manager approval.
Now I have waited for a week without resigning to see if I can get any written official communication of the same.

But all of a sudden, my manager is asking me why are you this doing now? You have just now joined after speaking with his manager.
Why is this sudden change in his behaviour?

Should I resign?
