I have an offer that is roughly a 35% raise on my base. I liked all the people I spoke to and the role is a good fit. I'd be stupid to pass on it right? I guess I have a bit of stockholm syndrome with the big 4

That’s a great bump for base! If all things (fringe benefits, insurance options, 401k match, bonus, hours) are similar or better, then I would take it.

Take it. Just be prepared for two years of 1-2% raises. Then switch jobs or get promoted to get another 10-20% raise.

Yep lol. Said it here best. 1-4% at best, hop, get another 10%. Signing bonuses also.

Seeking advice on what to do career wise.

I’m still in my first year at Deloitte as a campus-hire.

Should I wait it out and see? How do I get connected to try different things at the company?

Recently I got invited to an interview with a decent growing company. I work in Executive Search and I am thinking of switching to in-house recruiting. During the conversation the recruiter made some weird assumptions about my current job. The interview took longer than expected and I feel like I have not delivered well. Was I wrong to expect in-house recruiter to understand the differences and similarities between in-house-recruiting, professional search and retained executive search?
