Does anyone have good advice for navigating a potential or in hand counter offer. I enjoy my firm just not the work mainly the colleagues. I’ve seen that regardless I wouldn’t be happy since I’m considering leaving but was wondering how other people have navigated this. Thanks for any advice that you have!

Just leave. If you are to the point to where you are looking elsewhere, then you aren’t going to be happy remaining there, even with a raise from a matched counter offer

How about for 2x though…?

Matches and counter offers never work. People leave within a year using their new pay to negotiate even more. Some companies don’t bother doing any serious matching anymore.

It’s just better leverage though, I guess?

A couple falls in love and moves in together. One person is wealthy and the other is not. The wealthy partner pays for most of the basic home necessities. The wealthy partner also pays for many vacations including the children of both partners. The wealthy partner also pays for expensive car repairs and college tuition for the children of the less wealthy partner. Then, the couple breaks up. Does the wealthy partner have rights to reimbursement? They never married.

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here.

Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.
