Q. How does HPA work in Kubernetes?

EY or not EY? Help me decide!
I'm a Business Analyst with 3+ years of experience. I resigned in May and have 3 offers, including one from EY India. I cleared 4 interview rounds (2 offline, 2 online), and the client interview went well. I got a Senior Consultant role, and working for a Big 4 was my goal, but now I'm second-guessing it because: - The pay is 20% less than my other offers (including variable). - It's 5 days WFO, no exceptions. My other offer is tempting but lacks the brand value: - It's 60% higher (all fixed). - It's a hybrid model. What do you guys think? All advice is welcome!
