Thinking about switching to IFS. Currently in consulting. What’s your WLB?

A friend of mine has just left Infosys BPM (Consultant). He is serving notice period. It's been 1 month and it seems like manager is hell bent to make him work day and night. And this is sudden change. As per him same had happened with one of his colleagues too. Anybody here has any idea about it ? Can he speak up and object to working over time and on weekends ?

How is the career in Pursuits in any Big 4? Does it pay as good as core consulting work? How is the work life balance? I want to make a shift from client chargeable work to BD work for better work life balance. Is it worth switching?

How do I keep my team engaged when I am also struggling to stay motivated?

Our department has had a lot of turnover within the last few months, all of which were from different reasons (school, family issues, opportunities close to home, etc.). It has been a challenge to divide the workload, while still trying to remain flexible and provide a work-life balance.

However, I’m starting to feel stressed and disengaged. Any suggestions to make it through the changes?

Hi,

PwC Labs folks - how bad is the burnout in your teams? I am getting burnt out and we are not ramping up fast enough. Heard similar woes from couple of others at the Tampa all hands.

Does anyone know how the salary cohorts will be communicated?

Any tips on how to get out of IFS? I feel so trapped. I’ve been with the firm 6.5 years and had 4 roles trying to climb the ladder. 3 of the roles were SA. I’m tired of the lateral moves.

So... who is starting the IFS compensation spreadsheet? 😉

Does anyone else feel like instead of reviewing all the increased work we’ve been doing and releveling accordingly, the firm is just rewriting our current job scope to include the increased work?

I was promoted to manager in Jan but received an offer with a 35% salary increase and much cheaper health insurance outside the firm. I am 85% sure I’ll take the offer, but wanted to see if anyone could think of acting I may be missing out on by leaving? FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA. I think what is holding me back is my guilt for my immediate team but just want to check.

Any advice for countering an offer when getting promoted in IFS? Have people been able to successfully get more than the average 6% base increase?
