Is it smart to make a lateral move (for the same compensation) just to add a well-known company's name to your resume? I'm considering switching from the regional firm I work at to a position at a Fortune 500 company. My pay would be the same, so I would essentially just be doing it for reputation purposes. Is there hope for an eventual salary bump if I make that move?

I would do this. I feel like salaries are on the low side lately, and this move will set you up for future moves. It's not just a move to a more well-known company, but one out of public accounting and into private industry, which is more difficult than I've been expecting. I'm looking to leave public accounting and will have to take a pay cut.

Also consider the benefits at the larger company maybe better overall than what you have now.

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!!!!
