I just got a job offer. Is it an absolutely terrible time to be accepting a new job or should I go for it? (Feels like a good fit, and a solid salary bump)

I feel like they wouldn’t have offered the position without feeling like they could keep you billable for the year? Have that honest conversation about your concerns given the climate and see what kind of action plan they have in place and how confident you feel about it. Definitely feels like rollin the dice with everything going on though. Good luck!

Eh, not true. Balance sheets, client roster, etc

If the new spot can give you some semblance of reassurance considering current conditions, then why not? And don't take this the wrong way, but you could be doing your current employer a favor by coming off their payroll voluntarily.

3 years ago I asked for a compensation review/raise, went through what felt like a ridiculous 8 MONTH long process of defending why it was warranted, only to be told no. 3 months ago I asked again and it has gone nowhere.

There are a decent amount of benefits in my position, the biggest being WLB, which is what has kept me here for so long. But I’m getting frustrated. What would you do?
