Got an offer to join another firm consulting firm with a 38% pay raise. I’ve only been at my current firm for over a year now with ~3 years experience. Is it too soon to jump after only one year?

Gotta do what’s best for your own career! It’ll look bad if you KEEP doing it. But if you like the new company and culture and stay longer than a few years, you should be fine.

Fair point, but I’ve only been passively looking at job opportunities partially to keep my interviewing skills sharp, partially to be wary of other consulting options. I feel like I’d be doing myself a disservice if I didn’t at least passively look.

I don’t want firms to look down at the fact that I’ve “job hopped” too much early in my career.

That’s a pretty huge bump, personally I’d take it unless you have specific reservations about the firm who made the offer.

You can always accept and negotiate the start date. But I think over a year should have no red flags

Jumping off a related topic: am I delusional to not care about jr/int/sr level titles? I've been a "copywriter" since the day I started and steadily gained responsibility, autonomy, and money. Happy with career progression, always getting juicier assignments, work directly with ECDs/CCOs... am I missing something crucial? Is my case an anomaly? Or is it okay not to push for a title upgrade?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
