Im doing good work at Deloitte, have excellent and supportive network and am leading or part of innovative engagements. I also happen to like the firm. However I am starting to get a lot of offers from industry, average TC of these offers are at 1.5x to 2x of my current pay. Could use the money, but also am afraid of being laid off during recession and or not going for partnership at Deloitte. Should I start planning my exit?

Didn’t D lay people off in the pandemic? How are you sure they won’t in a recession?

You can always come back to the firm at a higher level to pursue the partner track. Chase the money

I would take the money only if I know I am joining a company which is known for job satisfaction and all the things that matter to me. Being happy in a company is rare and while you might get the money, you may not enjoy it as much. I would advise to do thorough research about these aspects for your next company before making your mind up

Think hard about what you want and where you go because I’m getting clear vibes that the current employment market is about to change. Know where you want to be when it does!

If you're that close to making PMD, then I think it becomes less about immediate comp and more about where you want to lay your roots. You can always come back but it may disrupt your trajectory (or maybe you just come back as a direct admit). Are you already in the process?

Far away! I’m just an SC making 120k! These industry offers are at 180k with 1 at 224k

Now is the time to move. Actually it was 3 months ago. Deloitte still does layoffs. So you aren’t recession proof, look at what happened during Covid.

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role. What kind of chance does a PR pro with ~7 years of solid experience across CPG and hospitality brands, including a mix of global agency work and smaller boutique firms, have at going in house? Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!
