Senior MD I worked with moved firms, wants me to follow. I'd rather stay but he was my main advocate for promotion. WWYD?

I'd consider following tbh. It's rare to find a real advocate. Plus since he knows you, he may have good reasons to think you'd do well at the new firm

Depends on the firm, size of your space (does it fit 2 MDs?) and personality of your boss. You’re a director now, aiming to become an MD. Likely your former boss likes you because you were executing his stuff. Is he going to allow you to follow your own path, get your own clients and get promoted to MD in this new place?

Depends on the firm

3 years of experience as a corporate lawyer.
Expecting an offer from both Deloitte India and Capgemini.
Deloitte India - Senior Consultant
Capgemini - Associate Consultant

Capgemini has verbally promised me 9 LPA but the offer is yet to be released.
Deloitte India has not yet communicated any offer, neither verbal nor formal.

I am more inclined towards joining Deloitte India as it is a bigger position than Capgemini.

Am I on the right track?

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

I spent the last 3 months "growing up" & now I'm ready to go. 1st thing is for me to get my own place. I'd like to buy instead of rent because I don't want to pay someone else's mortgage.

I'm thinking of selling my car & cash out some of my 401k to buy a house. My thought is to put down 3.5% for a FHA loan then make a big payment towards the principal to reduce long-term interest.

Anything wrong with this thinking or anything else I should consider?
