I’d probably try for a better brand… Grant Thornton, Capgemini, Slalom. etc. are all way better options IMHO. I’d probably even pick North Highland over BDO if I’m being honest

I just don’t see much market presence. Maybe they have some niche stuff I’m just not privy to, but I’ve never once crossed paths with someone from BDO, have never bid against them, etc.

Are they mostly tax and assurance? What type of “advisory” are you targeting specifically?

Easier to transition to big 4 compared to what?

Again posting since my last post did not got attention. Wanted to ask whether it's good to switch to big 4 India advisory role from a mid tier organization dealing in tech and ops. Additionally, they offered just very low percentage on current CTC saying that I am coming to a big brand.
Plus my current financial situation is stressful and I accepted the offer on certain conditions but now hr or the firm but saying we can't committ you. Any suggestions.
