Bridges 🤯

This is my biggest worry too. I know all my meaningful bridges will be burned but I’ve only been working for 3 years I’m hoping it doesn’t follow me forever

There’s a reason you never accept a counter offer. Unless it’s big-tech retention grant that can push your TC to a really absurd number.

Ok, I stand corrected

Whoever vouched for you to get the counter offer will now deal with some form of humiliation. It’s not really about company loyalty, one could argue it is, more about burning a bridge with someone who stuck up for you. Not a good policy in the long run because this sometimes comes back in a negative way down the road.

Depends on your industry also. I end up working with the same people over and over again at different firms, so I’m hesitant to burn bridges

You have issues dude

I left a couple months after taking a counter from a small firm to come here but my leadership understood that it was still a very difficult decision and left on good terms with the bridges still fully intact. Don’t recommend it unless you’re really sure about the other opportunity.

Who cares. Not like you need them anyway. Look out for yourself. Do what you want.

Do you seriously think the company “cares” about you?

Lmao who cares

Lol I’m so stressed

Do what's best for you. Congrats

Hello 🐟, I currently work in IAM but I've been unfulfilled mainly because I've been on the bench and my consulting muscles are not being utilized.

I'm interested in cloud & thinking about a transition as well. But I feel like I'm losing relevancy & would appreciate advice to step up my game & land a new gig.
