In a tough situation. I love my role and the people at (1.5 yrs in role) MS. Was networking on LinkedIn and connected with a partner who got me an interview and now offer paying 55% more than current salary?

What do I do? I like money but feel bad about leaving current role. I love the people I work with and another associate just left last week.

How would I explain why I’m leaving?

I might be wrong, but your firm most likely won’t match that offer.

That’s a huge increase, take it but also ask for title to match it. This is important for future purposes

Yes that’s fair enough! It’s more money though so don’t be surprised if it’s more responsibility. Just do it for the 💰

Burn that bridge, 55% increase is huuuuuuge, you can always circle back to your old.firm later

If you really want stay - tell them that. If they want you to stay they'll match/get closer. If not - you have your answer.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
