How do you tell your boss you have enough offer? I honestly wasn’t looking, it fell into my lap. The only reason I’m not jumping on it is because in my heart of hearts, I want to pivot into strategy..

I think it depends on the why. Are you looking for a raise/counter offer? Putting in your two weeks? What are you trying to get from this offer and from letting your boss know?

I was just in a very similar situation tell your boss about the offer the switch up in attitude after will tell you whether or not this is somewhere you want to stay

Then the other offer is for another account role then?

Do you see a path to strategy where you are? If so, the offer is worth mentioning if your manager can help you make the switch. If nothing else, it’s a bargaining chip… BUT you only get to play it once. As a backup, put feelers out on Strategy roles externally. You’ll know what’s best.

Regardless, making a switch now only slows down your trajectory towards Strategy, period.

Should I keep my new job or boomerang back to my old job? The new job pays 50K more base, 25K more bonus and I get 40K a year consulting for the old job so around 115K difference in cash (not counting equity).

So why even consider going back to the old job? The new job keeps me busy 12+ hours a day while the old job is a coast at 1-2 hours a day max.

My idea is not to enjoy the free time and sit on my *ss, but to figure out side gigs, passive income streams or even start a startup. (more)
