I am in this dilemma! I recently joined this firm one year ago and basically worked more than 50 hours a week getting them out the mud. I was promised if my review went well I would receive a generous bonus… I recently received my bonus and let’s just say it’s half what I receive a check. I have been getting contacted for interviews but feel leaving a year in is a bit soon. Mine you these offers are 20-40% increase. I know most people will jump ship but you know what they say it’s a small world!

A year is long enough, I would put myself first and take the offers.

I don’t feel this is a dilemma.

If I were in your shoes, I would express myself along the lines of:
1) My disappointment at the bonus, if not already expressed.
2) I would interview for the other jobs and upon receipt of an offer, after establishing the onward company will appreciate me —
3) Cordially and honestly express the financial side matters a lot right now. However—
4) I might like to come work for them again in future, if they would have me, once I’ve developed further elsewhere. Since obviously from the compensation I don’t seem to be worth very much to them right now. So I wouldn’t want to burn bridges.
5) I hope you understand, thank you for the year I’ve had — good bye.

I believe we have to do what’s right for us all the time. We are so replaceable 🤷‍♀️

Are you able to use this offers to negotiate for a higher salary increase at your firm?

I would not do this. They misled you already, they will do it again. Not a healthy environment.

Sorry, that's awful. They didn't tell you how much of a bonus you'd get?

So you’re being paid way less than market, especially if you’re working 50+ hours, plus your merit is based on base, you’re missing the compounding impact of higher base -> higher merit at the potential new place.

It seems like you know you should leave. If they know they can keep taking you for granted they will. I understand, leaving is tough but sometimes it has to happen.

Early in my career I had a great opportunity for that point where I learned a lot but they expected lots of hours and kept piling on more tasks and the company was taking advantage, small raises and bs title inflation with “promises” that when my boss retired I’d step in (he was 50 by the way so wasn’t happening soon) I was there almost 4 years. I left for 25% increase and the owners guilt tripped me on my way out saying new company would go under, etc. In <2 years old place was sold. Not how it works out every time but people are generally looking out for themselves.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach.

I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company. I have not done any consulting before so I am not sure how it works, what I would need to set up (they mentioned that I would start a LLC and bill them directly, no idea how to do that), how to determine the tax implications of this, or what hourly rate I would expect. Can anyone offer advice?
