depends why you were moved. not unusual in big 4 to be on a single client if they are big enough.

It is not necessarily a sign of anything other than that engagement needed people. If anti would think it is positive to get moved to a public engagement

What are your reviews like?

they’ve all been really good

Public jobs are always really good experience!

That's a good thing. Public clients are much harder and if you're more focused on one then you're more likely to reoccur and have a bigger role

expect a bigger role in your public client

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?
