MBB India vs Big 4 US? Currently at 170K TC in US with Big4. Offer to move back to India MBB.
5 YOE.
Long term goal to be in Tech and optimise around that.

Currently on H1B … no path to GC. Incredibly bored with the Implementation heavy work we do.

MBB India for sure

You could potentially save more at McKinsey India than us at 170k

Much harder to switch countries than switching from consulting to tech within the US imo. Also, the former option will rely more on ‘uncontrollable factors’ and I’d rather choose an option that’s relies on factors I can control (interview, prep a lot)

For Stratops and GTM teams, MBB is way more recognized than Big4. For other teams, it comes down to relevant experience.

Also implementation will allow you to exit into some tech roles more easily than pure strategy

Tech is probably the easiest for a switch when on H1. Honestly, I'm surprised you want to exit to tech and don't know this

Where do you realistically want to live long term?

Fair but there is no guarantee that an MBB offer will be on the table 2 years from now if I want to move back. The brand name is global

Hi everyone, I work at an early stage start up that just closed our round A. I just hired a director below me, however when it was time to come up with an offer I was removed from the conversation. The CO-founders said they’d handle the actual offer amount/equity. I joined early so salary is low but I have decent equity. Not sure if they didn’t want me seeing the offer or if this is normal for early start ups.

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
