Undergrad → Master’s → Industry → B4 → MBB.
Assuming average GMAT/GRE (verbal strong, quant average).

At face, is this HBS/GSB territory?
Curious how this profile lands.

Hi fishes,

I received an offer from big 4 with 60% hike. My managers wants to retain and I asked them to match if you want me to be retained.
Now I got a call from GPM yesterday. He used harsh words like "being greedy" "selfish" etc and offered me 30% in the end.
I politely declined but he asked me to reconsider as he said "it would be unfair for the org for you to leave so soon."

Let me know a proper response.

Also what do you think of this behavior by GPM?
