TCS has advisory practice? That's a news to me. I would avoid at any cost until and unless the pay is good, benefits is good and you are so frustrated with your current firm that you wanna run away. TCS should be last option.

Yes they do, but it’s very small and full of Indians. Culture is crap and degrades your resume, yet there are some real smart people. If you can withstand Indian politics, you could thrive and make big quickly.

Same with HCL. I
Am working with them now and not overly impressed .

Indian here. Kind of interested. How do you define Indian politics. Just want to be aware. Please try to be honest. At least I won't mind.

Am I crazy to take a pay cut to “chase my dream”?

Right now in talks for a sustainability director role that would be closer to $160k base / $20k bonus. (More in comments)

Currently making ~$300K TC in a strategy role. Was just offered a different role (account manager) in the same company with a slight increase in base salary and a 50% TC increase if I hit sales target (even base case would be ~30% increase in TC).

Have never really considered account management / anything with a sales target, but I like money.
