Two opportunities - go back to Big 4 for a run at partner (mediocre pay, lots of partner support) vs FAANG technical role, higher pay but not as high level as I would have liked as a consulting exit...

Goto FAANG if you wanna rest and vest, they are a retirement home. Promotions are political af and a lot of people saturate at L5/L6 level.

FAANG

Why does the level matter here if you like the work? If anything gives you even higher ceiling on a comp package you are already comfortable with

It likely would not be as big of a boost as years of direct experience at FAANG.

I think going to Big 4 would hurt you. People would think you couldn’t hack it at BCG, so you had to take a step down.

Who knows if FAANG would still be interested in recruiting you from Big 4 anyways?

With the partner support, how likely/quickly will you reach the same pay as the tech role?

So, run the full gauntlet of Senior Manager? Those were the worst years of my career by far

Aim for partner at BCG?

What’s your YOE?

Partner is going to be mostly sales and customer relations (for more sales) with a small sliver of leadership. If that’s what you want go for partner. If you want a technical/technical leadership role go FAANG.

Hi All. What is the best way to allocate 25 Lakh INR in savings into different investments to maximize returns. I recently moved out of India so Tax rebate is not a consideration for me. I already have 6 lakh plus invested in PF and MFs but I want to invest more as my money is getting depreciated in the savings bank account.

I also have an education loan with balance of 7 lakhs which I am planning to repay in lumpsum as there is no tax exemption now.
