I work at KPMG and was just approached about an external in-house transformation role with a former very senior coworker. He asked me to come with and it is a jump in title as well as Pay/Bonus. Roughly about $50k more in total comp all things considered. This role is remote and I can technically go into office when I’d like to. Currently, I’m traveling fairly frequently on a very difficult project and a bit burned out. I’m a very important resource on my project ending soon. What would u do

As important as you might seem it’s more important to realize we are all easily replaceable. We aren’t surgeons dropping out of a surgery scrambling to find someone else. We work in white collar jobs that for 99.99% of us has no impact of life and death.

Do whatever makes the most sense for you and your family. Your project and firm will be just fine regardless of the decision you make.

Great answer. Thanks

Sounds like a good offer! Perhaps consider if it’s worth finishing up your current project and ask to align on start date expectations

Sounds like a great opportunity. Vet it wisely and make a decision based on the quality of life you want.

Go for it. You can always boomerang back later. In this current job market, compensation increase is very stagnant if not minimal. Do what is the best for you. Your current firm can always find others to fill your shoe.

Great role to come back into consulting later should you choose to. Too many consultants don’t have any in house experience. I say go for it.

Seems like a no brainer. And, given it’s not a competitor just leave on good terms, do what you can in transition, etc. an you have the opportunity to come back if the roles doesn’t turn out to be what you expected

How did you get up the courage to invest? I max out the annual allowable contribution amount for my 401K, but otherwise I’ve got everything in savings.

I’d like to get to a position where I have maybe 14 months’ expenses in cash and the rest in investments (probably low-fee index funds).
