I need advice!
How is it to move to a firm like BDO, Protiviti or GT (India entities) from a big 4 like KPMG/EY.
I am a consultant in Cyber Strategy.
Is it a good step career wise?
Will I be able to return to a Big4?
Do they have good culture and learning opportunities?

It's a different world compared to big 4. Honestly, I couldn't adjust and resigned the mid size firm. But yes you can come back to big 4.

How is it different? And aren't mid size firms good?

You should go only if you’re getting a promotion (in a non-promotion year) or you’re certain you want to remain in consulting but aren’t getting promoted in a Big4.

Keep in mind you’ll be working with much smaller clients & in a way more unstructured environment.
