I recently made the jump from consulting back into industry. I think I made a mistake, not in leaving consulting but in the company that I joined. Not sure the interview process really gave me a good sense about any of my exit options. How have people been doing their due diligence to make sure they’re making the right move?

Wya and what role

Yeah OP let us know so we can avoid

If it’s not the right fit after 3mo it’s forgivable in your reasoning to the next recruiter. Just say it wasn’t a culture fit

Honestly, it’s a leap of faith joining a new business & you don’t know what you’re joining until you get there (despite the research you’ve probably taken prior to joining).

Speak with as many people as you possibly can…ask for top 3 things they enjoy & 2 things they would change.

If you really don’t like the company culture then start looking elsewhere, no point in being unhappy in your daily work life.

Take it easy. Give it some time. What are the biggest issues?

LinkedIn makes this much easier these days. Just figure out who held the role before you and see where they are now.

Does their new role interest you? Is it a promotion? Is your background similar (I.e. is it reasonable to expect that you might follow a similar path) You can also see how other consultants have performed in that company. Are there a lot of ex consultants in their leadership?

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities. I got an offer from a good product based company with a good package and also my current company offering me rehire with promotion and a good package. I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.

Currently in finance ops group at a PE shop in Canada. In late stages of interview process w GS in NYC for similar role but at the Associate level. All indications point to an offer being imminent but I have concerns with 1) title (junior VP’s in the group have +1/-1 YOE than me, 2) base feels a bit light given I have 9+ YOE (job description says top end is US$160K)…Nervous for a change as current role is very comfy but nothing ever grows in comfort zones. Thoughts?
