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.

Hi everyone. Wanted to get your thoughts on this situation. I was in an extremely toxic relationship with a narcissist for over 10 years. The trauma and abuse resulted in responsive abuse meaning I would turn into a person I was not proud of. I could “justify” some of my actions because I was in survival mode at the time. All of this trauma resulted in extreme depression and anxiety especially in regards to romantic relationships (I now know I have an anxious attachment style). Continued below..

Why I preferred StartUp --> because developing from scratch is not possible in most organizations but StartUp and I preferred "learning and Money" more than "WLB and stability" at this age. If the question will be asked after 5 years from now, I may have preferred less salary and More WLB, but that is not the scenario right now.
