The consulting services teams of big tech (Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, etc) seem like obvious entry points for consultants due to relevant experience, but they get little attention here. Why is that?

Do those roles lack good pay, advancement opportunities or better WLB vs working for a consultancy? Do they have the same focus on firm initiatives, utilization and BD/sales as consulting firms?

Very simple reason- those consulting teams are a cost to their companies. They don’t bring any revenue (certainly negligible compared to product). Do you want to be in a team that’s a cost to the company?

Hello All, i got 23L package. But the break down is as below 20L as fixed salary, 1.5L as reimbursements, and the remaining as PF deductions. The 1.5L is loss for me right? Can I ask the HR to move the 1.5 Reimbursements to Fixed? Please let me know what you think? Thanks.
