I took a job 6 months ago on the east coast in a large big four office. My finance and I have wanted to move back to my home state since moving here. Would it be a bad career move to put in for an office transfer at my one year mark? Would this impact promotion opportunities?

I don’t think so. I did the same thing you are planning to do a decade ago. No problem at all as long as they have a spot for you and your review is good. Good luck.

It could limit growth, not because of the relocation, but because of office size and what not....there may be less opportunities

R1 - i think we are saying the same thing

Depends where your home office is and what area you work in. If you’re in audit or tax and working on large and mid sized clients, moving to a smaller office with fewer clients can absolutely hinder job growth and promotion. If you’re working in advisory or consulting where staffing is done nationally then there’s less likely to be an impact.

You can try internal transfer back to the office of your home state. That'd be the most ideal situation. Try talk to your business lead in HR dept.

A transfer may not be a big deal if the new office is looking for people, and if your evaluations are good. If either is an issue, you will have a tough time.

I work in higher education, for a private university in the Midwest, and will be asking for a promotion to Director of Social Media. I would like to gauge what salary or % increase I should be asking for.

I'm coming up on 1 year since I was promoted to Assistant Director. (I was promoted bc the previous director left, but the truth is I'm not assisting anyone, and I've been running our university's social media for the last 3 years, with stellar analytics EVERY year since taking over.) TIA!

Is the compensation plan editable to allocate ex gratia amount updated post promotion this September.

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?
