What do I do if HR is pushing a role onto me? I said I will think and get back to you but she set up an interview with MD... do I just be honest and say that HR didn’t accurately relay my message?

Well if I write an accurate answer I will get knocked out of fishbowl. Again. HR should stick to hiring and firing who we tell them to. And leave the real work to the grown-ups.

My experience is we usually force roles on analysts when their current seat isn’t working out. May want to take a long hard look at your situation.
That being said, be courteous to the MD and find about the role. Sometimes easier to say it doesn’t sound like what you’re looking for after talking to the team, but really enjoyed meeting them

Never shoot down an opportunity to network, meet the MD, prepare as you would for any other interview. If the role is not what you are looking for , be cordial after the fact and thank both the team and recruiter. Good luck!

Hi fishes, in a dilemma....switched to a Big4 from MNC(almost 7 years of exp) in April 2020. The pay was normalised at 15.5LPA. Will get the package revised next month to 16.25 LPA. Now Deloitte has approached, so can I ask for 30%pay hike considering the switch will happen after completing almost 11-12 months in my current organization or can I ask for more than 30%, depending if I get a senior consultant or manager role? Also will the switch within a year have any negative impact?
