Am considering moving from larger tech consulting firm to a smaller (growing fast) one that’s industry specialized. Having a really hard time with the decision. Small pay bump, lateral title. What should I be considering?

I’m in the exact same situation
I’m my case, smaller company has a much better WLB and the industry is one that I’ve wanted to develop a skill set in long term. Also considering business school in 1-2 years, so not planning to stay long and the lateral move/not so great pay bump doesn’t make me feel too bad. Those factors are making me lean towards leaving!

Why?

Smaller company has a great culture and current company has 0 culture.

But more narrow of a scope

Hi fishes, My timings are from 12 to 9 and HR is asking us to come thrice a week and also spend more than 4 to 5 hrs in office and then go home and continue from there. This will create a huge problem if they start calling daily. Anyone else facing this issue? Can anything be done for this? Since i have joined this organization everything seems weird here.
