I’m on a small team where I happen to be the SME and the the only other person who knows how to do it is the VP. I have an offer to leave for 60% more to a big 4 + get title bump (associate to senior consultant) but I feel bad. I think this will burn bridges. I love manager, team and WLB. They were so excited to hire me and now I might leave them. Help

The world has 7 billion people , they can find someone easily to replace you , but you can’t find such great opportunities easily. Someone somewhere will give everything for this offer. Don’t overthink, be your own best friend and leave. Fly brother fly

This sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 60% bump is lifestyle-changing, and sets you up for long-term financial security.

Take the offer, if you hate it after a year then beg for your old job. MS can always shell out the money if they want you to stay / come back.

60%. Nice

Don’t feel bad. You are replaceable to them.

You don't have to burn bridges. Give them 2 weeks notice (more if you can/want to), spend time transitioning your work, and go to greener pastures.

Networking/LinkedIn question: Do you feel like you are the one who always reaches out to people on LinkedIn to stay in touch and build your network?
I'm always on the look out for my next opportunity or passively job searching. To that end, I believe in staying connected with my network through out the year and not randomly approaching them for a position/opening. However, at times, it feels the communication is coerced and there is a lack of rapport. Anyone else struggle with this? Thanks!
