Feel like I am making a career suicide and I am very worried. I currently work with one of the top payment company in the world. I recently got an offer with another smaller company but same industry. The salary came with a 60% bump and a bigger title . In my current company, I have a good wlb and it works well with my toddler. I have only been in my current role for 2 years and I feel that’s too early to hop? My previous role was 3 years as well? I’m worried .

Sounds like your intuition is telling you something. Small company, much bigger salary, bigger title = big expectations which is likely to mean much less time with your family. Listen to your gut.

Worth the risk. Leave on good terms with your current employer and you could always go back.

2 years in that role isn’t awful. Does the smaller company have a good reputation and do you know anything about the WLB there? A 60% bump would be veryyy hard to turn down.

It was very very hard to turn down. I just couldn’t do it, I told the recruiter I have a hard stop at 5pm to go pick up my child at the daycare and she said they are flexible. I hope they don’t turn back and say no!

Feeling down. I've interviewed for probably 12 positions (mostly Senior Manager level), and always getting rejected. Is this normal? I do try and ask for feedback, and sometimes they give saying that there just isn't the right fit for your skillset at this time. If so, then why did you interview me? #frustrated
