I’m desperate to get out of my current firm (boutique ops shop). Today I got an offer from a direct competitor of ours (also boutique ops) with a title bump to Senior Consultant and a 6% salary bump.

My goal is to get into a tier 2/mbb (Kearney is the top pick) in early 2021.

Should I take the offer and keep looking or do I stay and keep trying for tier 2/mbb?

Why such a small salary bump? If you’re moving to another boutique then I don’t think that is enough of a raise

YA! I’m with you on that but our current firms compensation is ridiculously inflated for market value

On the face of it, I think riding it out with your current firm may be a better strategy

Hey A1, thanks for the two pieces of advice. You’re right about staying positive, especially given there’s absolutely nothing I can do about the current situation. I needed to hear that 🙂

I would start with what best helps you achieve that goal? Staying out or leaving?

I don’t think either really makes a difference? I have strong connections who are willing to put in a word (just waiting for hiring to resume). I will say I am worried how it will look if I’m interviewing/applying to jobs couple months into a new job

6% bump may not make a difference in your day to day comfort (not knowing your financial situation), so money shouldn't factor too greatly here. I'd choose whichever firm has the greatest job security at this time.

First year trainee here. Having the standard wobbles but generally surviving.

My question is - how can I tell if I'm doing well? More specifically, what common and avoidable mistakes (specific or general) do trainees make, and what attitude or actions impress you?

Recently overheard some associates complaining about another trainee and now I have the fear... I want to get this right. Thanks in advance.
