Is the pay cut worth to make transition into tech? Been at B4 for 6+ years and don’t see myself in consulting forever. Interviewing for strategy & ops role at Uber but the total comp would be a pay cut, without even accounting for the additional raise + bonus i would forego in summer. Seems like the tech industry have lowered overall pay. Any thoughts?

Does this new role align with your personal/ professional aspirations. If yes , then take that leap.
Only you know ur aspirations and their is no right or wrong career path.

Stick with consulting and when you deal with ageism look to go into government or teaching. I think teaching is a great second career because earning power is so weak for prime years of your life. But it can be a stable career for 50+.

Reorgs are just a part of the corporate world. If you haven’t been a part of one in your career yet, then you most likely haven’t been in the corporate workforce for very long. If you have been a part of a reorg, however, how do you personally approach it? There are many factors at play, but in general do you try to establish relationships with the individuals you know will be key contributors and/or decision makers going forward? Or do you lay low and let what ever happens be/hope for the best?

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?
