Just got back from a 2 year assignment, which started out as 6. The market is not as sophisticated and feels a few years behind in terms of adaption and understanding. We always found it was hard to find good talent with analytics experience so depending upon what line of business you are in the opportunities can be plentiful.

London has a very strong FinTech startup environment, which seems to be growing. It’s counter to the message that a lot banks are moving some work to the continent. Personally I think it creates more opps. Looks like there is FinTech week there early June, which might give a clearer answer than what I just said

Working as part of Strategic analytics/management consulting role out side of big 4

@Dir1 Thanks for sharing that! Yes I have noticed it to be a bit slower than US. Particular in the financial serv. and strategy sectors.

Should have said it started out as 6 months, which I extended to 2 years

Ha ha.. got it. Kinda like it here myself, hence the longer-term consideration. Do you think we should be worried about the impact of brexit? Particularly in consulting and Fin. Services?

D1 is spot on. The UK is generally behind in most things tech. The laws are different. A fun place to live especially with proximity to the rest of Europe

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

I've 6+ yrs experience (mobile dev.)

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.
