Have 3 years of consulting experience and under the age of 28. Client offered to bring me on full time with a solid pay bump. Stay in consulting or leave? Is it hard to always go back to consulting?

Make sure the title is a bump.

You can always boomerang back. Plus work life balance is nice

What are the hard numbers? Better to make the call if you mention hard numbers. $80K to $108K might be worth a wait if next promo has you at or above that. But $150K to $202K would be worth it

Ofcourse if you think you’d enjoy new roles or want to try something else, then worth the move

How much of a bump is solid

Bail before you become dead inside 🤷‍♂️

I’d jump for 35% depending on relocation city

I had this decision around your stage (2 offers in hand, 35%) and my company lobbied to keep me with 30%. I stayed. In the long run industry increases are marginal where consulting jumps higher, faster but also WLB is the counter argument IMO.

I wanted to spread a little positivity this Friday afternoon. I just started a new job after casually interviewing for several months at the start of the year to do a little research on the marketing job market, and then seriously interviewing/searching since May. After coming close with several other jobs but something always going wrong (low ball pay, role put on hold, etc.) I finally got THE job. I’m excited about it, I’m paid well, and fully remote. So don’t settle, and don’t give up! ✨

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
