“Big 4”… sounds like an EY problem. Pwc allows 20 days a year.

As with everything… but it is “material” fact that pwc allows 20 days a year.

There’s a few company’s that allow this crazy remote/anywhere in the world. Vast majority do not allow anything.

Damn I'm sorry to hear that. That's rough.

With 13.5 Lpa currently i’m at 12 and made switch on march.
Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5

I have been researching into this these days and there is literature that shares how lending worked in pre-Islamic Arabia.

Subsequently ever year the loan wasn't paid it was doubled from the previous year.
