Should I be concerned? I found out that my billable rate is significantly less than my peers due to heavy client discount. Does this affect career growth at all?

No. Your billable rate is not your salary. You don’t know why or how they determined who to discount. Could just be lottery X of 4 resources are cheaper

Deloitte India - Senior 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.
