How do you know when it’s time to start looking for a new role interally/externally or another company? What signs or gut feelings make you realize your tenure is ready for a change?

Everyone's circumstance is different so this is my experience, and my experience is in sales and sales leadership roles.

You want to look for a new role INTERNALLY when everything is going well. You don't want to wait until things are trending negatively. While you are on top of the world and have success stories, and your name/image is buzzing within your company... That's the time to apply for a new role internally.

You want to look for a new role externally if you don't have a clear plan/path to a leadership role you desire and/or you want to be paid more. Externally is usually the way to go for a fasttrack to more money.

This reply wins as i agree with this 100 percent. Why would anyone look to move up when theres red all over the wall? And if you do want to see a salary hike then external is usually the way to go

What are some exit opportunities for a senior auditor 3 years of experience on commercial (mainly manufacturing/ batteries) clients?

funny

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
