I am new to Big4 culture. Considering factors like - more hiring in EY US, layoff and recession news in market, split of audit and consulting business in company - how safe are our jobs in GDS.

can you tell what is recession? just because few product and start up companies' layoffs there shouldn't be a recession. Many industries like e-commerce, banking, healthcare are hiring aggressively. GDS is providing services for these industies.

It will be very interesting to see how a recession occurs in 2022 or 2023, cause the world has lots and lots of short buyers now. The fall to recession will be a very slow one. One thing I'm sure is the recession will be a short one, i.e unless not another C-wave comes a banging.

in my experience, big4 culture is glorified WITCH culture, except good hikes nothing great about big4s

TRUE. One person I know is working for 11 hrs everyday and it's not even busy season yet. The pay is also very subpar (4lpa).

I feel big4 culture is hugely over hyped. Except decent hikes and bonus nothing special. Although after working 10-12 years most of the time in a year.. Hike seems sometimes reasonable not decent. Although I'm working in TC in GDS.. But what worked I did in WITCH company is worth rather than working so called big4. Hell lot of documentation work is here. I literally don't like it at all.

Problem is bulk of real consulting work which constitutes the meat of what a firm like EY does happens onshore. GDS does not usually participates at that level. I have worked in EY US and UK for several years and also have worked in TCS, Infy and can say there is a day and night difference.

Big 4. Advantage is when you switch companies you will get a good hike. I am having 3?5 and I got 6 as an offer.
