Saudi? More likely to get into riyadh because they have to comply to certain % as Saudis. Otherwise not sure. Someone correct me if im wrong

Just apply. Many of the European partners didn’t go to ‘top’ schools. Same for those from South Asia. Apply and see where you land.

Hit me up for a referral if you'd like

DM for referral at Bain

You should apply to various firms and judge which one you like best. Get to know a few people. But prep for the case. I’m sure you’ll get multiple offers.

Contact me for a referral at OW

Java Microservices Architect with 40 LPA Fixed (12 YOE) at Nagarro. Joined 8 months back. Got an offer from Publicis Sapient of 55LPA (50 Fixed, 5 Variable). I have asked for 60, but that’s out of their budget. I’m thinking of accepting the offer only if 55 is fixed without any variable. What do tou think guys? Is it worth a switch? And is the variable paid fully usually? Thanks in advance for your insights.
