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?

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE. My manager thinks the best next step for me is to move into management and leadership and has started pushing me to apply for an engineering manager role. They say that I will be a good fit because of my strong technical background paired with the leadership and people skills I display currently.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?

As someone who is interested in public interest law (open to impact litigation or policy work), does it make sense to clerk in state court -- trial level -- and if so, for how long? Are these clerkships only useful for becoming a state court judge down the line or can they open doors to other paths?

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest.
