TCS just called me about a Managing Partner role. Told me it was a very senior leadership position within the firm. $240 base with a 15% bonus. I just chuckled and said "yeah no". He countered that he can go up to a $285 base. Seriously, what is going on with the WITCH firms? Are they targeting disgruntled Managers at big consulting firms with fake Partner titles?

Oh man…they offered me the same title/role at $350k.
Still an offensive offer.

I fell for one of these and joined a WITCH (I know, I know). I got a better offer than you mentioned, with the promise of a big pivot, building a high-performing team from scratch, great leadership team, etc etc. None of this has come to fruition and I would only recommend this type of move if you have zero options or are retired. I’ve met some great people, have some great clients, but working at such an underperforming org is eroding my confidence, I’m not learning or inspired, and I’m not proud to tell people where I work. I had a long run at a great firm before this and I feel it’s become tainted by WITCH, exits will be hard. Buyer beware.

EY1, I doubt anyone doing well at B4 or ACN would go to WITCH for a board position, unless you mean retired and sitting on their corporate board. Leaving for active employment would only maybe make sense if it’s to be the CEO. Was this person in delivery?

15% bonus. That totally signals high performance culture…

funny

Recruiting shenanigans seeing what folks are willing to take… sure some internal promotes probably make that… Folks coming from B4, IBM, and ACN typically command mid to low 300s and 30/40 percent bonus. Know folks who are at TCS. Caveat is it is a place to go pre-retirement if you have left better firms and still want to work. Island of misfit consulting toys as consulting isolated from broader enterprise solutions unit. Have also seen folks go from IBM to TCS to B4 so temp holding area as well… Weigh all that against working at Capgemini or some other mid tier at a VP level.. Infy might be a little different…

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?
