Currently work at NH and would generally not recommend unless you have a very specific specialty (with industry connections) that aligns closely with growth areas. If you are just going to be a manager or below you are going to be paid less but still have travel expectations with less fringe benefits

Is it a good idea to tell your manager intentions of leaving?

Recently had my review and it didn’t go how I expected. No raise, no promotion. I expressed disappointment but took the criticism I was given to reach my goal in 6 months or a year.

However, there are a number of issues that bother me enough where I want to move on.

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.

Looks like a promotion could be coming. Wondering what I might expect UX Design Director / in-house finance /Boston / 35

I have applied for a Generalist Associate role at McKinsey, and the recruiter came back to me offering instead to interview for an "Associate, Marketing & Sales" position. I don't exactly understand what that entails. Could anyone give me information on the difference Generalist vs. Marketing & Sales? Will I still be performing strategy work?
