Happy New Year 🐠! Quick question: Would you jump from consulting to industry for a small pay hike but a better title hoping for long term returns! Based out of Canada here, if it helps.

I wouldn’t jump for title or minor bump in salary unless work and industry were something I really aligned with from a long term perspective.

Other considerations, as mentioned above, include overall brand recognition and company trajectory.

A really wise mentor of mine said you shouldn’t be “leaving consulting” in the sense that you’re running away. You should be “starting something new” in the sense that you’re chasing something better. Something that excites you.

That’ll make the decision much easier. Keep in mind factors such as losing / broadening network, having to re-prove yourself to build an internal reputation, and other significant factors like change in lifestyle (e.g., no travel).

Thank you! Really appreciate your inputs!

D Canada here. I just made a similar decision. DM me.

Hi guys, I got an offer from x and i discussed that with my current. At 1st current said they can only give 30% increment. I said I can't stay with this cause i got 70% and expect at least 50%(as the 70% included VP and the current org don't have vp, they have bonus). Then they said they can do max 45%. I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?
