I have been working in a big 4 consulting for 8 years. Recently, I got an offer from boutique consulting firm with 26% hike on fixed pay. I’m getting a role upgrade too, but the same is also expected in the big 4. Should I join this new firm, considering I’ll be losing out on benfits of a large MNC?
