At what point in your career do you feel the need to move up or out of the company into a new one? I'm feeling a little stagnant and not really making much more than I was 3 years ago.. but in the past three years, I've had two kids and a new car pop up in my life, so I really need to be making more. At the same time, finding another job has felt so impossible that I'm just grateful that I have one right now. How do you help yourself out of a situation like this?

If you’re not learning more skills while at the same time not increasing comp, you need to leave.

It for sure is but don’t let this market discourage you from finding something better. It’s tough out there but not impossible especially if you feel like your skills warrant higher pay.

Listening to your situation, I'd definitely say it's time for you to move up, even if not to another company. Growth needs to be your metric. If you don't feel like growing, in regard to your skills getting better or you learning new skills, then you should be aiming for more..

Figure out what the next step up is and gauge whether you are there or not. If you have grown in those 3 years but comp isn’t matching, time to start looking, while also being realistic, it could take a while with the job market how it is. Now would also be a great time to work towards skills/etc. if you need to.

McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).

Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried

Hi Fishes,

I got an offer from PwC. The joining date that I had agreed from my side was 2 June.

I told the whole issue to my recruiter and she sent a confirmation mail stating that she will revise my joining date by 90 days without issue. Is there any chance they can revoke the offer? I have put down my papers already.
