Have an offer from a CPG company. Base salary is the same moving from HCOL to MCOL. The work is much more interesting(Corp strategy-supply chain design) but the promo path is undefined and I’m set to promo to consultant (20% pay increase) this June or December. Not interested in the work I’m currently doing (implementation), want to move cities, and having a really hard time convincing my managers to roll me off. Goal is b school in 3-4 years. What would you do?

Personally, if there’s a way to stick it out, make the job slightly better for yourself (eg move to different city if you’re working remotely anyway) - I would do that and then jump. Not just for the pay, but to show a promotion. IMO b-schools want to see career progression.

But if it’s going to be a miserable 6 months or 1 year, or you think you won’t get another chance to lateral, we all need to do what makes us happy 😊 . But I’d get clarity on the promotion path before making a decision.

I’d leave. I’ve always prioritized the content of the work I’m doing, and it sounds like you’re on boring projects now. Doing interesting work pre-b school will help you in finding a better post MBA job too.

McKinsey poster has a good point about progression helping for apps, but you’ll have 3-4 years to solve that. Can push for a promo at 2 years in corporate.

I did a similar move pre b school, and it worked great for me (so I might be biased by my positive experience!)

Hi all 🙂👋🏻 Apologies for such a late post. I have an offer of 18 CTC(1L joining bonus) from Larsen & Toubro Infotech & 12.5 fixed from IBM .
My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
Appreciate ur inputs🙂
