I received an offer from a young nonprofit I am really excited about.

I’m only at 2 YOE, so the salary drop is negligible.

Am I making a mistake if I follow my heart and exit now?

You’re still very young and you can always come back to MBB later. Go for what you are passionate about

Do it! I am sure BCG would let you boomerang from a non profit early in career. Do you have secondments? This may also be an option. You keep your job but get to join the non profit for a bit and see how you like it.

The fact that you already have BCG on your resume will keep lots of doors open for you if you ever want to move back into the corporate sector. And a top 20 MBA will give you a clean start at a high salary if you want it later.

If you're truly passionate about this opportunity I would do it now bc having family, a mortgage, etc later in life makes it hard to take a big pay cut to do that kind of thing.

Hi folks, I've been offered for the role of devsecops engineer at cisco.

I’m currently a Recruitment Consultant at an RPO with 4.5 YOE in Toronto. I received a salary raise last year. Recently I had another conversation with my manager for a comp raise. They was able to speak with their higher ups. Unfortunately, I got to know that they wouldn’t be able to increase my pay because of the economy. I’ve been working on heavy req loads and multi projects. But they are signing me up for a leadership program with a potential raise next year. Thoughts?

Had a call with a recruiter for an industry director role that was seeking 7+ years of experience in management consulting / corporate strategy; preferred top 10 firm.

The role is not corporate strategy, but is on a cross-functional Strategy team.

At the end of the call, we realized salary expectations were out of range: the MAX comp on the role is 175k +20% - no RSUs until VP. I’m currently making 215k TC in industry.
