I’m thinking about turning in my 2 weeks notice at the firm that I’ve worked at 10 years this week. No raise, no bonus, was told that partner track was delayed a few years for a variety of non performance reasons. I met all sales and other goals. I have another job offer I’d like to take from another firm. I ordinarily wouldn’t quit during busy season but this year busy season is literally January 2 - October 15. Thoughts?

Sounds like you've already decided but are feeling guilty. Don't feel guilty! There is always work to be done so you will always leave something undone and pushed to your teammates regardless of when you leave.

I was in the same position and made a move. There were a couple other things that rubbed me wrong as well that I won’t get into here.

At the new firm, make sure you’re getting exposure to regional and national leadership during the interview process. Yes, local puts you up for partner, but you’re golden if regional/national has your back.


Just remember grass isn’t always greener.

Congratulations on the job offer OP. Don’t worry about quitting at this time. Do what makes sense for you.

Good luck with the new role.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

I had a call with the HR on 11/17 wherein we discussed about my salary expectations and the HR said he will get back in a day. It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?
