Considering an exit from McKinsey as EM with 3 year tenure post MBA to financial services in tech org. TC is $325k with strong growth, WLB drops from 65-80hrs a week to 40-50hrs and no travel. Would you take it?

Only consideration is that it’s a lateral move/slightly down in terms of current comp. Have been high performer st McK

This feels like a no brainer. Take it. Don’t look back.

That sounds to me like an increase from EM comp but I’ve been out for 4 years now so things might have changed

It sounds like a solid move, but obviously growth and promo can be tricky in industry so it’s somewhat a gamble. But upside is great

Depends. What’s the title, what’s the role?

I’d do it

Honestly impossible to say without knowing your personal situation and ambition. Do you have/plan to have kids soon? How important is money for you? Progress at the corporate side is a bit less predictable - you could progress well or be stuck at current levels for years…

Kids on the way, but have ambitious career goals. I definitely expect one day have partner level income

Hey guys! I just received luckily enough two offer from two big companies: one as a Senior UX in SAP Concur and another one at Microsoft as a Designer II in Microsoft Teams. The role matters until a certain point to me. What does it matter is career and learning perspectives. Do you have any previous experience with one of the two companies? All feedback or comment is very much appreciated, thank you!

I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense? I’m guessing it could take me to 170ish with that schools I’m looking at but wondering if the 40-50 retirement range makes an mba not make sense since I’d only have 10-20 years to save vs 12-22.

Would have to finance the whole thing myself. Current net worth is 140k. Thoughts?

This might be a long shot but I'm looking for a volunteer who is trying to break into a federal career. Maybe a transitioning veteran, recent grad, or career-changer.

I'm pursuing my master career coaching cert and need to do a recorded 45-minute session. You don't have to be identified if you don't want to.

The single session is all I'm asking but could certainly turn into a longer lasting coaching relationship (at no cost), if you like.
