I am currently on the automation team at JPM and got low-balled and have only been here for two months and not passionate about my job. I just got an offer at GS as a Product Manager with a 30% increase in TC. How do I break this to my manager? Should I bring up the 3 month "at-will" employee paragraph from my contract? What's the best way to do this, my team is understaffed and my manager is going on maternity leave in 4 months. Should I decline GS because I'll be burning a bridge with JPM?

Just leave dude. I’m assuming you are young and still pure and idealistic at heart. Corporates don’t have any loyalty to anyone. You are just a number. If your places were reversed, they would not blink if they needed to cut you out and throw you under the bus. Especially, JPM! I know from a personal experience.

Yup, same experience with JPM as GCG.

Agreed you don’t owe anyone a damn thing and always do the best for you. That said, still should play the corporate game and try not to burn bridges — the finance world is quite small

From my experience it depends on how hard your director/manager is batting for you. I made internal moves this year and was able to score a 28.5% jump.

Agree with MG1, if you don’t like the job, don’t stay.

Yes, leave! So many ppl have been getting cut. Some of them have kids and they were only given 45 days to leave. How easy is it to find another job in 45 days? These companies don’t give a $h/t about you. Life is short. Don’t waste your time doing a job that you don’t enjoy.

I’d just leave. You don’t really owe them an explanation.

Out of curiosity, did interviewers ask why the jump just 2 months in? How did you handle?

The position that I got at GS is actually a position that I had from another company. I told them that I wasn't enjoying the work that I was doing and that I know I was passionate about the job I was interviewing for.

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?

Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
