Have you ever felt like you spent too long in a company? I think I'm reaching that point, and I don't know if it's considered good or not. The only pro I see is that if I apply to work elsewhere, they won't have to worry about me not staying for long, but opportunities-wise, I think I really did stunt my growth. Can you share your experiences of how it's been good or not to stay with one company for a long period?

Idk. I am leaving my current role after two years and am going from $230k TC to $290k TC and will be doing more meaningful work toward my career.

It seems you have high aspirations, which must be extremely challenging, but will also bring greater growth and rewards

There are more pros than just that. Companies genuinely promote from within and offer diverse projects or roles if you seek them out, so loyalty can pay off with surprising new experiences. Also, you build lasting professional connections, which can make project work more seamless and enjoyable

Nice bowl to avoid lowering the average in the US-centric threads. Anybody else finding that with the lack of pay rises this year, it’s become even harder to benchmark? Had a few recruiters recently suggesting I’d get 25% more by moving to a competitor but no telling whether that’s a short term-gain for a longer term hit.

Mid year promotions, I found out you need to make your own case for it rather than the firm coming to you. If you think you’re ready make sure you speak up!

So I was offered a role in Strategy Consulting in after 2 years in Risk Consulting however, after 2 years I’ve only worked on Internal audit engagements few ad hocs such as updating risk register and the delegation of authority matrix.

Honestly speaking I am doing good and I am up for promotion in October however I am not fully enjoying my time but I fear that the move would not be a good and I can’t hit the ground running which scares me.

Any advice and past experiences in such career shit?

Those of you who have left consulting for Program/Project Management at tech companies (not Product), what do you think of the switch? Have heard anecdotally that work can be uninteresting and career progression suspect, but seems like a very chill, high paying exit. Does this differ greatly if it is technical PM? Would love to hear thoughts.

Additional Posts in Pharma and Biotech

Just got offered a job at a small biotech in London (UK). ~£45k plus bonus but only 1YR FTC and no equity.

Pretty sure it's a discovery role too.

I just finished my PhD at a very good uni with 3 years technician experience before that. BSc and MSc also at very good unis with good grades.

I think this offer is well below par, but curious to hear what you guys think/if you have any comparisons?

Thanks in advance :)
