@IM1, surprisingly, not a start up. Small agency that classified everyone as Consultant, Partner, and Senior Partner, before taking leadership roles (i.e. West Coast Office Leader).

Hello Guys,

Currently I am working as People Partner (Human Resource) with Byju's at Kolkata office and I am actively looking to shift to Bangalore.
I tried applying almost everywhere but no luck yet.

It would be really helpful if anyone can refer me in their respective organisation for any role in the HR domain.

Looking for a referral at Bain and BCG. Plz and thx

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
