How can I get into board advisory positions?
Is it SAFE joining Wipro as technical lead (B3) with 37LPA? Knowing that package is pretty high as compared to collogues in same band. HR is not ready to give project manager(C1) position.
Appreciate your suggestions/input.
Would there be any scope of increment going forward?

First, take a deep breath. You took a chance on a small firm with upside potential and it is not working out the way you wanted.
You are in this situation bc you took a chance. No one ever advanced their career wo taking some risk. Sometimes it doesn't work out. It is ok.
You are realizing it now and are ready to do something about it. That is great.
Good news is that you recently left EY, a globally recognized leader in professional services. Assuming you left EY on good terms, reach back out. If you do not want EY, the other Big 4 firms will have you. They are desperate for talent rn.

OP - don't let ego get in the way of your career progression amd reaching back out to EY.
You tried something out, it did not work amd you realized how awesome your time at EY was, tell them that and you miss the people most, amd that you found the work meaningful. Also add that you talked to othe Big 4 and EY is where you want to be.
Trust me, they will know that you want to be there and that counts for a lot.

I’m not in my 30s but I made the same switch a few years ago to a smaller firm.
There’s a reason those firms are small, they’re a pain.
It’s ok, we all make these kinds of mistakes. Luckily this is easy to recover from.
I like the small form I worked at for about 5 years. I left to go to a 50,000+ company. I regret leaving (most days). It’s nice to be able to put expenses on your personal card, not have an “IT department” that is constantly trying to lock everything down. Nice to be able influence policy and decisions.
What’s the issue with this smaller firm? What was your motivation for joining this firm in the first place?
we’re in a hiring surge right now if you’re looking to get back into public accounting. feel free to dm
