If you were only 5 months into working a tier 3 company and then got an offer from a tier 1 company, how much higher would the TC need to be for you to potentially burn that bridge?

For me, it’s about more than TC. Is the work better? More opportunities for growth? Culture differences? Etc. TC plays a part for sure but I would look at the whole puzzle to determine if it is worth it.

It could literally be the same pay or lower if it’s a company with enough name recognition and I’d still take it. I can’t tell you how many jobs I’ve landed Bc I have a tier 1 level company on my resume for 5 years when I started my career. People literally still talk about it 15 years later “oh, you worked at X...” as if it’s an elite Ivy League education on my resume.

I mean, happiness and culture are important, but I can survive just about anything for 3-5 years if it yields endless returns for the rest of my career.
