If multiple people warned you about a place you were interviewing, and told you they were performative, shallow, bad at business, and had rampant nepotism, would you still take the job? My friend is being offered a nice bump (15K or so) by a toxic workplace with terrible leadership. She’s still leaning towards it… 🚩🚩🚩🚩is there any sense in trying to stop her?

Enough places are hiring that she can get that same bump in a place that isn’t toxic.

15k isn’t that big of a bump after you do the math. This potentially bad culture will soon outweigh the few extra hundred dollars per month.

Break down the numbers and ask if it's worth it. I'm inaginingy less than 1k per month after tax, is that the price of mental well being?

Any chance the friend can use the offer to get a raise at the current place?

I recently got a $75k bump from a job switch, and I wouldn’t have taken it if I’d believed the environment would be toxic. I can’t imagine a scenario that would make toxicity worth the money, except maybe quickly using it stepping stone to something else. For me, toxic usually means I won’t be successful or last long.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!
