Is exiting into industry a “death sentence” for career trajectory? I got an offer from a boring not innovative health insurance company. Pays well but worried about a few years down the line. Plateau?

What’s the gig?

Was wondering the same thing..feel like ppl look down on you for leaving for industry.

Boomeranging shouldn’t be too hard though if you gain a lot of experience in the field you want to consult for later though?

@M1 - mind sharing where you left to?

There’s no one to really baby you in industry. If you’re a go-getter in consulting, you will do well in industry. I realized many people in consulting are sheltered (at least at EY), but perhaps, that’s one of the perks of being in consulting since you have more opportunities for mentor ship. At the the end of the day, look at the market, growth, learning opportunities, and whether there is someone out there who really cares about your development.

I was offered a Solutions Architect role with a packaging company. When discussing details with the recruiter, she specified that the salary was $60k…I was shocked to hear that number.

I gave her my target salary as $100-120k (I have 3 years experience in IT, 1 in IT Procurement, now a PM). She said the highest they would likely be able to go is $85k, but she would have to speak with the hiring managers.

I still think $85 is too low for the role. What do you think is a fair salary?

Are there any pros to staying at a company and getting laid off, vs. proactively looking for a new job and quitting before it happens?

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

So I got interviewed for a project by the IBM team. The interviewer told me that its a go ahead from their end, now the client will assess my profile and if they too are fine with it, I will be onboarded?

Is it true that we have client interview as well? If yes then after how many days of interview by IBM team, client interview takes place?

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)
