Every time you trade down, your likely future opportunities trade down as well. Why not stay for Manager at KPMG?

Thanks McK. There are some compelling reasons and moreover no surety on promotion/salary increment this year. Bonus is scrapped and also working in Staff Aug project for more than 6 months. Surely not something that I signed up for.

Samesies - #4 and #5

Dang, if GT is #5, where does Accenture fall?

I’d do a significant amount of research before jumping to GT from K - I’ve heard of layoffs and paycuts. I’d expect to think that KPMGs Cyber practice is probably better from a reputation standpoint, but I’m not well versed in the cyber landscape. How far are you from M at KPMG?

I would say year. Again shooting for Oct 2020 but can be pushed to Oct 2021

With one year, I’d stick it out. Or try lateral move to other Big 4 if you want the promotion this year. It will be very hard to move up once you traded down, but there’s a lot of good mobility within Big 4.

And if you get manager next year, you can always move to GT for a senior manager position.

Acenture 2 really knows what's going on, it's true, although some people within the firm are still like, if leaders didn't announce it then it didn't happen. K's reputation is much better, our cyber team is relatively new and mostly ibm people who moved over years ago, not sure how that practice is doing, I work in advisory and have never been on a cross practice client with them.
