a senior executive operations

PWC or MICROSOFT

need some guidance and advice. I have 2 offers, 1 from PWC and another from Microsoft. So the deal is like: 1-Both are giving contracutal role. PWC contract will be of 6 months which will be extended and may lead to FTE based on performance after 18 months. The consultancy offering for Microsoft is for 18 months but non- extendable. 2- Both are giving similar renumeration. 3.5 lpa vs 3.8 lpa as my current CTC is 2.81 lpa. Though i gave them the bracket of 4.5-6 lpa. In hand structure is also same around 27k. 3- PWC is offering hybrid while MICROSOFT is remote. i have 6+ yr experience and just coz of my current ctc am not able to grab a good hike

...12%-40% on reward statement. But you will get 3% of bonus at the end of year 😆. 2) they deduct insurance premium from salary. Before joining ask for high pay . Performance doesn't matter here for promotion .only good connection with managers important 😂. Lots of politics . Be ready to work on weekends.no personal life . 1 source working on multiple projects. Even If any task get delayed due to multiple project assignment, they gone blame you only . Your health is not important. You die but you have to complete your work.

For ESG business unit, the work culture, the pay or the skill development nothing is good. Managers know nothing amd try to squeeze everything out from the associates with 2 3 years of experience. They pay peanuts for lots of work. There is no work training given you just join and they just make you work and expect you to know everything.
