Got an offer that’s 30% raise in base pay, closer to 50% total comp raise. Job is at a tech firm that’s not performing too well. Future manager sounds like a bit of a nightmare to work for & made it clear there will be weekend work and some long nights.

In a comfortable spot where I am, but the money is hard to walk away from. What would you do?

Trust your gut. If you’re comfortable now but still looking to grow, you could say no to this offer, stay at your current job, and keep looking for other opportunities that have better comp, a better company trajectory, and better leadership.

More money from company that is not doing well. How does that sound?

Depends on your situation, if you’re young and single and don’t mind putting in the work do it - especially if it aligns to strategic career growth goals. If you have a family or prioritize your non-working hours, if they’re saying there’s weekend hours they mean it. Good on them for actually admitting expectations upfront

They aren’t doing well because they’re paying their people too much for nonsense work

Stay at your job and keep looking no money is worth burn out! Overwork and leadership that not even starting is describe as a “nightmare to work with”

If they’re not doing well, the bonus is almost certainly going to be haircut vs what they advertise. So keep that in mind on the decision

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
