Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.
I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.
Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
Should I stay or should I go?

What I’ve done in the past is look up the job description and requirements of the role you would be promoted into and analyze how you meet those criteria. And then have a conversation w/ your manager. “Ive been thinking about my career progression here. I saw this posting for position X that is a level above mine. I was looking at the qualifications and meet 80% of them through X,Y,Z.. i have made it my goal to make sure I focus on growth in the other areas for the next 3 months..would that make qualified for promotion at that point, correct”
I felt it went a lot better than ‘what else do I need to do to be promoted’ convos that many times end up too vague. You need to make it clear how you are performing above your level.
Make sure to assert yourself and let them know about your expectations.
