Hi guys, I'm joining Visa Consulting & Analytics as a summer 2026 intern and would love to hear from current/former VCA folks.

What was the role like and how does the progression scale? Also curious about typical exit opps after 2-3 years.

For context, I'm early in my career and trying to understand how VCA positions you relative to traditional strategy consulting, especially with all the changes in the industry right now.

Any insights would be great. 🙏🙏

3 years of experience as a corporate lawyer.
Expecting an offer from both Deloitte India and Capgemini.
Deloitte India - Senior Consultant
Capgemini - Associate Consultant

Capgemini has verbally promised me 9 LPA but the offer is yet to be released.
Deloitte India has not yet communicated any offer, neither verbal nor formal.

I am more inclined towards joining Deloitte India as it is a bigger position than Capgemini.

Am I on the right track?

Next week is my last week at my current firm and I need to take bereavement leave. How to go about asking? I have a lot of work to do still, but obviously can’t miss the funeral

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
