Mid size vs big 4 - which one to choose and why?

Pay/work is same, no exit ops in either.

I came from mid size to big 4 and I’m much happier at big 4. Mid size was great to start my career/learn and network, but exit ops weren’t that great and internal transfer options were basically non existent or very political. Big 4 pays better in the long run, offers more internal and external opportunities and the flexibility to transfer to basically any state if needed. The downside of big 4 is it took a lot longer to network and there was a learning curve to internal firm lingo/technology.

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.

I’ve always been aware of a y guy’s “manhood” and don’t emasculate men.

Thx
