A big dilemma
How many people have chosen to step out of a Product oriented role to a consulting like Big4? My current role seems easy with complete WFH and international travel benefits while my new role at Big4 can pay me more and make me come right to the market standards. What should I choose??

My personal perspective if life is going easy and paying you good for your role then don't switch to big4. Amount of work is usually high in any big4 and there are unnecessary things attached to performance in the name of firm initiatives.

Don’t you think retainment is a bit trap. My current company product is unnecessarily pitching AI into the project which are not even useful for that matter but there is a target to achieve and they are doing it. Somewhere in the last appraisal i also got a big betrayal where my performance was marked “not meeting expectations” and was just a tactic to keep me at the lowest since it was my first performance cycle. But i received multiple awards and yet being marked no meeting expectations was a big hit on my ego and i just couldn’t digest it. I had some long heated conversation with my manager who is not even indian and is chinese. From work perspective the work is easy but monotonous. No learning. In big4 i can get my market standard hike and learnings are anyways there. I am in such a dilemma. The only issue is i wanted to move to another product based but currently only receiving offers from big4s due to my previous experience.

What’s a fair operations manager salary

I am ready to transition my Salesmen to a base salary with commission to incentivize new hires & reward my long term guys. My industry is aftermarket auto parts. I am leaning towards a 2% commission but am flexible and just need help in figuring out salaries.

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.
