I have an exit opp for 15k more than what I make today, + 10k in RSUs/yr. I’m a Consultant, and exit opp is for a Product Manager position. Should I do it? Not sure if I’ll get a counter offer.

If you are done with consulting, go ahead and do it. Else 15k bump and 10k in RSU is not large enough to change career tracks. Unless it’s google, fb, Amazon etc. OR you are going to a leadership role. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the input. It’s not Google/Amazon/FB but is for a SaaS company that is growing quickly. Hmm, lots of thinking to do...

Agree with EY1, but I also think consulting will always take you back.

Very true, I suppose I could always boomerang. Although it would suck if I did it before the RSUs vest.

Forget about a counter offer. If you want to stay, stay. But you’re obviously thinking about going, so why is that and how silly is it to think that mere money will make those things OK. If anything, they will get worse.

Do you want to be a product manager?

Good point. It’s really hard, because when I applied for this position I was on a terrible project where 15 hour days were normal. Now I’m on a project I really enjoy. I’ve only been here for a year and these two projects are all I know. Trying to gauge which is more of the norm. I really can’t go back to another project like my first without walking out the door so I think I may have to take this offer to guarantee that.
