Hi Fishes, I got a call from Infosys HR stating that I'm selected and I would receive offer in 10 days. It's been around 12 days now, yet to receive the offer. HR's not picking the calls too. Any ideas, has anyone undergone the same situation. Please help. Infosys Infosys Limited Infosys Consulting
Thought leadership at its finest.

If it’s the same, not really better or worse, stay and give it a fair shake. Build your network, get some references, maybe a promo. Think longer term and think about how it sets you up for a bigger future move. It’s a good brand to have a few years at on your resume.
If your goal is to get out of consulting, then this is your story right here if anyone asks. You tried several different experiences and ultimately decided you’d rather not work in consulting after trying several different firms.
If you want to jump to another consultancy, I’d say you might have one more jump left before people would assume you’re a serial job hopper.
I'd definitely say they have to wait till the year end before jumping again

6 months in, you don't have a network strong enough for it to be a good experience at a firm. I would give it at least a year, not only for not looking like a job hopper, but also to see how your networks and relationships develop.
The longer I've stayed at firms and developed my network in relationships, the more I've liked it.
If recruiters are reaching out, then hop if you want. They prompted the interest not you. But try and stay there for a while.

Probably try to hit the year mark, but if you’re going to industry you can at least have a story to tell about being done with consulting

The three years in industry helps, but I think it all boils down to the “why”. If you can explain that well, you should be good, but you’ll see a lot of pushback when trying to find your next job

What are you looking for in a new job?
Stay put unless you are miserable.
It is not too early to leave. You will already be seen as a job hopper unless you stay at PwC for 3ish years.
However, what would you leave to, and why? Don't leave PwC for EY and then wind up surprised again that it isn't different. But if you have a great offer at MBB or tech, then it is worth leaving. Take some time to choose your next move carefully.
