Not many opportunities to double your salary come along + VC will be more interesting for bschool apps if you decide you want to get back into consulting

OP consulting will always be there, VC roles are rare. Make the jump.

I live in NYC so the expenses won't be much higher. Offer is twice what I make today. Biggest concern is that I enjoy consulting and still feel like I'm figuring out what I like and don't like. But if I don't leave earlier as an analyst, I may be too senior to go into new industries

If you are interested in VC possibly. Just don’t forget how expensive it is to live in California and specifically SF.

Does anyone have any recommendations of career coaches or where to begin to research legit ones? I’m a part-time MBA student at a top 25 program and have 13 years of work experience, mostly in government contracting, with a few deviations from the industry. I would like to use the MBA to make a career pivot, but I’m having a hard time choosing a path to target. I’d like to explore working 1-on-1 with a career/executive coach to help with this process.

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
