I'm secretly interviewing for a position at another firm that has a much better reputation for work-life balance. If I get an offer, do I owe it to my current team to give them a chance to match it, even if I'm pretty sure they won't?

Are you at a boutique? Sure. if global firm, they probs won’t match

I mean I guess you could try. It can often come across as disloyal and a little tacky to tell your current company you were looking elsewhere...It's risky if you want to maintain the relationship with them in the future, but might be worth it to you.

If you are solely shopping around for more money, then it may be worth it to say something but only after that first offer is secure. But if you are looking for better WLB or other factors are at play, may be best to just go elsewhere so you can find what you want.

I mean, I wouldn't go so far as to say that you "owe" it to them to have the chance to match. Would that even get you to stay with them anyway? Cause it sounds like at the other place you'd be a getting at least as much money and a better WLB. I doubt they'd offer to work you less for more money...

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here.

Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets). I did that for almost 2 years before making the switch. I miss sales, though. Does anyone have any connections to companies looking? I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!
