More important is why you want that opportunity. The typical consulting exit reasons are acceptable - personal (travel), impact (less chance of shelfware when you're internal), working at a good company instead of bouncing from good to bad, apply what you've learned, etc... But why that company and that opportunity is what will move you forward.

I am about to hand in my notice at a job I am pretty secure in, to go to a job for a relatively new company (with a significant salary increase). Any tips for:

1. Getting over the nerves that are as a result of taking a risk (I am late 30's)
2. The guilt of leaving a role where I have an amazing working relationship with all my colleagues and my boss

Any tips would be appreciated as I am a mess of nerves!!

They did not mention when someone performing a particular role was a man but they did point out when it's a woman, happened about four times. Odd, no? What would you make of this?

I spoke to an experienced hire recruiter today and he said the company is moving to a hybrid model to include more in-person time between clients and staff.

Thank you.

My role was just eliminated, and I need to replace it quickly. I have a solid lead on a new job but based on the job description I think it’s gonna be a lot less than I was making. I’ve seen people on one of the bowls mention working 2 full time jobs, like in different time zones or countries. Does anyone have any concrete advice on how to start that process? Any guidance is greatly appreciated!
