Be honest, does company name matter. Looking to exit and some nice startups have approached me. They have less than a 100 employees. Pay is double my current pay.

It does not matter after a point. Company name doesn’t pay the bills. If you’ve already got a couple of good names on the resume, go for it!

I agree. And contrary to what weirdos on this app like to say, the Deloitte name has clout in the real world

I would also echo that (anecdotally) I’ve seen way more people recognize Deloitte than any other firm (big 4, MBB, etc.)

Is it largely equity? Remember that could always end up being worthless…

FWIW Deloitte had better name recognition than any other consulting firm at every startup I was at before McKinsey. Good luck!

It kinda depends on your area of focus. I made the jump to KPMG from a very small company, this was possible only because I’m in a niche space.

Look at who else works there. Where did they go to school (not that it matters, but it says something if all the PMs are from Stanford)? Where else have they worked? What have they done so far professionally? Lots of these emerging unicorn startups attract top talent where you can make some crazy networking connections. In terms of credentials I’m the “dumbest” person at my startup and I love that in terms of what it means for my network

It depends. You'll have likely better networking at a larger company, which could help down the road. Additionally if your next job is in a different role, the name could matter more or less depending on the role.

All said, I still picked comp/fit over name personally.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

Hello Fishes,
I am thinking of resigning from my company due to toxic work culture and no work life balance.
I need to know the notice period.
I am currently in probation period and there is still 1 month left for my probation to end.
In my offer letter it is mentioned that any probationary employee should give 1 month written notice before leaving. So I am confused if it is 90 days or 1 month.

Can anyone tell me what will be the probation period?
