Thinking of making a switch – need some suggestions!

Hi all,
I have offers from EY GDS and BPM LLP (India) and I’m a bit confused which one to join.

EY GDS → part of Big 4 global network, exposure to global clients, larger brand.

BPM LLP → mid-tier US firm with India presence, better work-life balance (7am–4pm timings), smaller team setup.


I’m looking for advice from those who have worked in either or both – in terms of career growth, learning curve, brand value, and overall work culture.

Hi everyone,

I have got the ey hr mail stating i should provide him with aadhar card, information sheet and latest resume for a audit and assurance contract for 6 months as iam a semi qualified CA.

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.

I joined pwc last month, and absolutely hating it here. Each weekend has been working, 12-15 hours work day is minimum expectation.

(Note that you request them to review and give their pov earlier on, but they never take the time out)
