My thoughts are a bit different. Although talent wise I don’t think there was a huge difference, the two jobs are significantly different in terms of prestige, compensation, growth- you name it and I sometimes feel gratitude to be a much more privileged position and sometimes feel sympathy for the others who are probably doing similar work but get nowhere close to the satisfaction an MBB might give.

If you get a US Visa for Deloitte USI (S&O or Advise roles), you make more money and actually get to work in better projects in US. If you are stuck in India, everything is inferior to MBB.

They dont think about them, and thats why they reached MBB by retaining their focus

EY Deloitte PwC people - would you leave your current employer for a 15%-25% total comp difference?

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
