This is me -
Tata Consultancy I am a manager in Capgemini... have an offer frm TCS. the designation being offered is Assistant Consultant.. 9.8 years experience( 5 yrs with Cap) Even though I am getting a package of 25Lakhs.. it seems like a demotion in designation.. Cg has offered to match upto 23.5 lakhs.. Is it worth moving to TCS on this grade? My primary reason for moving out of Cg is i m bored of beauocracy and WLB at current project. Is it a good idea to still switch with the counter offer from Cg Capgemini Tata Consu

Big K is pretty chill
It works for me
Worked both PwC and KPMG.
WLB at KPMG is better.
Also - PwC pays on a cohort scale whereas KPMG pays based off experience.
right but on a cohort scale you max out for your level. I'm an A2 at KPMG making more then a SA1 at PwC
Work is to support the life. Life is not to support the work. I keep that in mind. For me anything more than 40 hrs a week is taking bite from my life. We make our own choices.

100% depends on group. At K I worked 80-100 hr weeks, at EY I work 30-50 hour weeks. I’ve heard the reverse in other groups and I know there are groups that plan to 60/wk.
Gotta hate PMLs who take their job too seriously
4-5 hours a day max at kpmg
Which level are you at K5?
PwC has a strong client base. Good from a branding standpoint, terrible from a WLB perspective.
Hmm I agree but I think of it as I have a chance to accelerate my career’s trajectory if I grind/suffer a few years with worse WLB and potentially get to my financial goals sooner so I can chill longer
Ig my point is that it depends on the individual especially their age
This is not a bash btw lol just wanted to chime in as devils advocate
Better WLB is fundamentally KPMG’s brand. Not in every single case, but true overall.
Source: worked at three Big4.
EY and Deloitte
Hahaha not even close
Definitely good WLB
Lots of my old team went to PWC because they got offers for more pay (20%-30% more). They are all working at least 25% more hours than they were at EY and that’s in the non-busy season. It’s even worse when they hit busy season hours. Like someone said, it totally depends on the group. Try to get honest answers from the people working and don’t just trust the partners and interviewers you talk to!
From I’ve heard from consulting friends in tech I’d go EY/K P D A

I have great wlb
Pro
I average 45 hours per week at EY. Averaged about the same at ACN. It’s super dependent on group and project. I have heard Deloitte has the worst WLB/culture out of the Big4 plus ACN, but cannot confirm as I’ve never worked there. Slalom, Booz, and anything federal will give you the best WLB (but also lower pay)
Pro
Yea, the SM level is just never fun, from what I’ve heard. Partner responsibilities without the oay
Depends on the line of service, and client you’re on. I think in reality the big 4 are all similar.
