It would require travel to Asia for project set up occasionally but mostly regular desk job. Seems like a relaxed culture and the role is very must project management ...not consulting so a bit bland. But at the same time I feel like I might be throwing away all my work of getting promoted and enjoying just riding the wave for a while.

A PM gig ain't worth it IMO so keep riding your wave..

Anyone else ...

What's comp?

Depending on if comp is worthwhile I'd say if you're really passionate about the industry use this role as a chance to get your foot in the door and then hop to a different role in a year or two.

Probably a cut to $100k

Pro list to stay vs pro list to go? Con list? Life values? Other considerations- culture, direct team, company vision / future, etc.?

Hey fishes!! I'm currently working for EY gds as an associate in client technology domain. I would be trained in different functions for 1st year such as project management, business analysis and product management. I want to start my career as a product manager. On the flip side, I have an offer from TCS with a approximately 60% more salary but I am not sure in which domain I'll be put into. Which one to choose. Need your suggestions.

Hi fishes,
Need your thoughts.
I am done with my client interview and it went well but they are asking me to come to gugaon location.
I am from Bangalore location.
I directly said to client that I can't since I have my family here.
When I inform this to my manager he is saying how come u say like this to client.according to kpmg policy u need to travel to anywhere to work.
This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?

If you decide to move down a level in your next role, for learning purposes and for more wlb, is that frowned upon by future employers and looks bad on your resume? I've been think about it but haven't pulled the trigger. Also fear that getting a lower level job will be tough if they see me as 'over-qualified'. For context, this would be going from a director role to a SM or Manager role.
