I just got an offer from Accenture Switzerland, Total Comp 170K with 140K base. I have 6YOE as IT consultant and 9YOE in total. I am just upset that they did not offer me a relocation package of 20k because the cost of living in Zurich for a family with 1 child is crazy! Should I insist for a sign on bonus before accepting the offer?

Please continue.
Brush off the past, and move on I suppose. Some people intentionally put up barricades around bad memories, as it’s just that, memories. You’re out, at Google of all places, make new memories, better memories. Memories which you will love to talk about and remember.
For details, here’s some examples:
- one colleague launched a very large, public feature - one that made news - without the rest of his team or manager’s involvement. Nobody wanted to work on this feature or it wasn’t scoped in their roadmap. They took it on with a few other engineers and shipped the feature with media fanfare. It didn’t launch before the review process and they were left with a bad perf rating due to ‘lack of impact.’ Their manager and MoM takes credit for the launch.
I worked on the GTM side - working with partners to grow the adoption of The product (vague, but on purpose). I objectively outperformed my tenured team mates, but to my skip, the hardest working and visible team mates were only the old guard - the ones who’d been there prior to 2019. My stupid face would be on an all hands slide for outperforming our team’s goals and my skip would say “and <person 1> and <person 2> are doing amazing things with our numbers in this category - congrats you two!” It was almost comical.
I can go on. However, now that I’ve left, I’m left with this horrible feeling that everyone else in my circle that I know have left as well will privately share similar sentiments, but will publicly make statements that are inconsistent with their experience (“I wholeheartedly recommend (X team) as a great place to work”).
I’m not sure - I’ve never felt this way. Might need coaching honestly.
