I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?

I am from GDS consulting.
I joined from another firm to GDS when I just became a CA with a 42 percent increment from my peanuts in oct 2020 . That got revised by 24 percent in oct 2021 and now by 10 percent in mid year. A lot of my colleagues became managers. They might be getting 18 lakh plus. One of the senior 4 like me is getting 2.5 lacs more than me.
I am not saying that I have the best package, but I remember where I came from. Things have could been better, but they are not bad either:)
