How difficult is it to do an international office transition at MBBs? Say from a top office in Europe (e.g. London, Paris, Munich) to a top office in the US (NYC, LA, SF). I am an EU citizen that spent 6 months studying in California so I could proof my ties to the region.

A 6 months exchange during university isn't really a tie to the region... US offices, especially NYC, LA & SF, are quite popular and competitive so if you are trying to do a permanent transfer you will need to have top ratings (it doesn't matter what office you are coming from) and a good personal reason (e.g., your SO is there). For exchanges, I think this may vary by firm.

A CRO offerred me an internal consulting/biz dev role. They offered 145k TC (20% bump) and slightly better benefits. They also offered accelerated path (6mo to 1yr) to MC. While promotion to MC at my current company is at least 1 year away. The job is interesting to me and fits my careery goal. But my big concern is that I've only been with my current company for a year (this is my first job, post PhD). Would this affect my resume in the future in terms of being viewed as "job hopping"?

Hello guys, I am a ML Engineer by profession and have recently heard about the AI Centre of Excellence at TCS.

I've that the COE team is supposed to guide TCS employees on client end. However, I've also heard that as they do not generate any profits, TCS moves them to client side as soon as possible.

Could anyone please share some insights about work at the AI COE at TCS? How's the team and how's overall growth in terms of skills and payscale? Are there any drawbacks of joining AI COE?
