I got offered a promotion! But... the pay increase is kind of a joke and means even more hours. Do I take it for the resume boost, or hold out for the right opportunity?

Take it for the boost. But start looking for a new opportunity almost immediately. As new responsibilities pile up, add them to your resume. That’s just my opinion

depends what level but taking the promotion can make it a lot harder to find time to interview (unless you do it truly immediately)

What were the levels and numbers?

I mean, do you have another offer?

I had a coworker who I really respect who declined a promotion for over a year and a half (finally took it recently) because he wanted to slow down a little bit and spend time w/ family.

With C1 on this. Use it a resume boost and start looking. Extra pay can’t hurt and in this economy, finding another position isn’t always easy or quick

Maybe… is there a chance for negotiation?

Hi all, I’m looking to learn about how one can transition from PwC AC to PwC India.

I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.
