Hello all, looking for some advice. I’ve been offered a verbal exit op from an ex colleague who left consulting for industry. The role aligns with my interests and pays 20% more than my current salary. Since I’ve only been at the firm for less than a year, would this be a bad move?

Wait until that verbal turns to written first… right now it is just all promises that can be taken back the next day…

No sounds great

In all honesty, given the economy and also your buddy is new in the new role, would you want to take the risk and move? If you don’t hate your job, staying longer will get you more benefits later on by showing you can stay and succeed in a job

What's the best course of action when you find yourself at a job that's far more chaotic than you assessed while interviewing?

None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.
