I left a great firm for a pay hike and a senior leader role at a WITCH. I’m so over it. Have learned a lot and grew a big business, but not worth it anymore. Life is too short to deal with endless drama and massive talent problems. Any advice on exits?

Definitely not!!!!!

Are you client facing/ delivery partner ? Recruiters or your network are a great place to start. Revamp LinkedIn and start planning your next 6 months… provided you have the psychological safety to plan your exit in 6 months.
The other way is to claim some type of constructive dismissal/ negotiated exit due to their toxic environment- would require a lawyer etc.

Really that bad? I’m considering it. Was the raise substantial?

I haven’t seen someone make 7 figures. If you can get that, keep in mind you will have a target on your back and be the first to go the second there is margin pressure. I’ve seen many senior folks out the door within 12 months of joining, and looking at their LI, they are still unemployed. Know the risk.

Hi fishes,

I received an offer from big 4 with 60% hike. My managers wants to retain and I asked them to match if you want me to be retained.
Now I got a call from GPM yesterday. He used harsh words like "being greedy" "selfish" etc and offered me 30% in the end.
I politely declined but he asked me to reconsider as he said "it would be unfair for the org for you to leave so soon."

Let me know a proper response.

Also what do you think of this behavior by GPM?
