Been at my current agency since graduating college (3+ years ago). It’s been my introduction into the industry and I feel like I am valued here and have a lot of room to move up, but I’ve been contemplating leaving to explore new opportunities and see how another/bigger agency operates. Curious what thoughts/experiences are like on jumping around or if carving out a place at someplace for a long time is better?

I think either is a fine option, kind of depends on what you're looking for and where you're at in life. Stability is never guaranteed, but if you're valued at your current firm that may be the safer option. If you're more interested in testing the waters somewhere else, I wouldn't stop yourself, just recognize you may not land somewhere you like as much.

Hi fishes.. Advice required since I am confused.

Profile - MBA from one of the IIMs, Deloitte S&O, total and post mba experience = 2

I am getting an industry offer for 34 LPA which I feel is huge considering my experience and role also seems good. My only confusion is that I feel if I stay in Deloitte for 1-2 more years, I might be able to switch to MBB or Kearney. I always wanted to try the client site lifestyle and might get better exit opportunities after that. What should I do? Thank you.

What would you do if you found out an executive was speaking poorly about you and your work performance to other employees? Is this a case where you would get HR involved? Have a conversation with the individual? Let it go? The comments are confirmed to have happened at an event that the offended party was planning/running, and the exec said negative comments to two other people at the company about the event and their work, and also said the person looked “too stressed.”
