How to deal with being rejected from a consulting job you want?

We've all been there (not just me I hope). It's so frustrating when the consulting one is a tough hill to climb. Has joining a smaller management consulting firm ever worked out for anyone?

I'd like to hope one day I could get into big 4 or even MBB.

Currently working as product owner with a tier 2 Product organisation with a CTC of 33 lpa and company is quite stable and old. Just got an offer of 48 from a series B funded startup in AI, is worth taking risk ? My yoe is 10 years in Product management.

Seeing how the environmental problem is growing in the world and nobody is doing anything to stop the pollution of the big nations (China, USA, Russia), it makes me think as a mathematician that our days are numbered.

If someone is getting promoted in @cognizant. They are sending a token of appreciation via delivery to home address. So what are we receiving in it. Just curiosity...

EY people- Is there a big difference between Director/ED benefits vs Associate Director?

There is a thread on the main bowl about which level is the hardest and the consensus seems to be director level is the most difficult one. Are some of the things said there true of IFS directors too?

Got waitlisted at NYU. Any insight on the likelihood of getting in, or how much sending in additional materials (updated test score, additional essay/rec letter) will increase my chances? I only have one offer in hand for a T20 program that I was ready to accept, but the potential of going to a T10 is enticing...

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

I asked mindtree to revise my compensation by informing of the counter offer and surprising they provided me the CTC i requested without asking for proof of counter offer. Is this something skeptical ?

Before taking resignation they were saying will get letter in 2 days max, now Delay in offer letter even after more than month from the day I took my resignation back.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
