Hey bro, from where you did your MBA? Also you can always put down your papers...same happened with my wife in EY and she left the company in 2 months.... It's no shame in leaving a company where you feel there is no work life balance

Hi, if this happens daily then it doesn’t look good. Please check with your peers and mentors if work is like this in KPMG only or in this domain. If it’s the latter, doesn’t matter which firm you go to you’ll always feel this way. Based on that you’ve to decide if you should be working in this domain.
Life is always full of ups and downs regardless of how successful you are, there’ll be days when you feel good and there’ll be days when it doesn’t go your way. If you feel like your feeling depressed more often than not because of your work you’ll have to make some decisions.
I hope you find your way man, Good Luck.

That's really bad. Could you give some background about your educational qualifications and other work experiences? Surprising to see you're an AM with just one year of prior experience.

Same with me I am into core Audit @ KPMG and its really depressing working long hrs skipping meals and dreaming about wrk papers it's really hard

Same here with me... College fresher joined D by campus recruitment

Hi, sometimes it can be a team or a lead giving you lot of stress, try to talk to people in other teams in KPMG.
Spend time with people from other domains and companies, helps a lot. I've made a decision to switch career as I understood I have better opportunities outside.

Is it KPMG India or KPMG Global?

I joined a new consulting firm and have been here for 6 months. Recently, a SaaS client (1k employees) that hired my old consulting firm reached out to me about a job opening - Lead BA working primarily to implement their benefit admin system for insurance companies. My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.
