Getting promotions can be extremely difficult. Your total years of experience hold little value. If the interviewer likes you, you might secure a high position with minimal experience.

1. Work life balance and everything depends upon the project you are in. There are fair share of Good as well as Bad Projects here. Although you learn a lot usually when you are in Bad project but your life can become hell. 2. You don't get Shares as part of your package on roles STC and below. You can purchase your own though. 3. These days they are cutting cost on everything so appraisal are average but still better then other consultancy companies.

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation. My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.
