Not so much about reputational risk - mostly about what you want. Industry job or manager at EY? Whatever you pick, it’s all in - no second guessing... good luck

It’s always curious to me why firms are content to ignore the wants of top talent until someone else wants them (assuming you had a conversation with your leadership before seeking another offer)

like

Is there a real reputational risk to me in staying now? She really wants to support me for going for Manager and is willing to do what it takes to keep me but wants my commitment.

Have also already accepted industry role so would need to renege on that.

Hey, OP. What made you renege? I didn’t renege and actually politely declined firm’s offer.

D1, it's cheaper to lose good people than to set a precedent and raise the expectations of the many more mediocre people.

Pick a side and stick with it. Whichever side you choose the Partner will understand. You won't be the last attrition case at EY

@D1- so given I have been made a counter that i will need to keep quiet, would you recommend I take it?

Hard to say with the information at hand. The two main factors I would be weighing up are if I wanted to be in consulting or industry, and my relationship with that partner and their seniority.

Hey @D1 she is the head of our whole practice. The industry role would be a good fit for my skills and experience, and they are a client of the firm.

So do you want to be in consulting or industry?

Hey Director1, I ended up taking the industry role.

Congrats on the new job 🙂

Thanks! My partner ended up countering me, (not as high) told me it was a huge mistake to leave before Manager, etc but I felt that this was a good opportunity for me.

@D1 hoping to come back as a boomerang

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!

Does it essentially end my chances if at any point I can't solve the question? I mean I will definitely attempt to talk it through, ask question, but no progress in code. 🤷
