I’m a director in industry and absolutely miserable at my job and it gets worse by the week (new leadership in April). Would you make a lateral move in this case both title and salary/bonus?

Ya. If you like the job and hate the company just change companies. Not every move needs to be a bump, and you’ll be more likely to move up if you aren’t miserable.

How long have you been there? I would make the move. Life’s too short to be miserable.

Make the move! 18 months is long enough that most recruiters won’t even question.

Hello!

I joined Accenture 5 months back as a lateral hire ( Level 11 ) and have been a part of a project since day one.

I am not enjoying my work here, no motivation at all. Dreaded to report to work and having stress and anxiety. My manager is trying to micromanage me as productivity is on the lower side.

Another thing is, I have started to dislike my current tech and no more interested in it.
What are my options here ?
Is project release possible ?
or I have to put down papers ?
