I’ve been working for a company for 25yrs, looking for advancement. I’m considered an SME, managing people, Vendors and working on large system conversions. Have provided long term goals. When requesting feedback I’m told I’m on the right path, no suggestions on what to improve. I asked about timelines for advancement and not being given anything concrete. Recently interviewed with another company as a Vendor Mgmt partner. Individual contributor, high visible position with potential. Thoughts?

It seems to me you already know what to do. (Try and move on) But, you feel bad (or some other emotion) because you’ve had it pretty good at your current employer. Remember, if you die today, they replace you tomorrow. Take on the new adventure and see where it leads you!

I'm in the same boat.

I left after 27 years. They kept going for new inexperienced cheaper labor and not appreciative of depth or experience. It’s a leap of faith, so keep yours. It’s the best move I ever made and kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Don’t gather mold, stay bold. Most behemoths don’t appreciate commitment or dedication.

Leaving a company after 25 years can be daunting, but if you’re not happy and not getting support to move up, you should leave. It’s an unfortunate reality that you often have to leave your current company to know your value. Your loyalty, while admirable, isn’t being reciprocated.

As long as you leave on good terms, I’m sure you could always go back to your current company if things weren’t what you expected at the new company. Life is too short to be frustrated, especially in this job market. Take a chance on yourself and you’ll probably be pleasantly surprised. There’s always a learning curve, so give yourself time and grace. But I think it’s worth a shot if no one at your current company is willing to work with you on career pathing. As someone else said, you know what you want, so you might as well go after it!

Thank you and I learned very early on in my career…. Never burn bridges. I won’t leave on bad terms and I’m confident in my abilities. I’m sure it’ll work out.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

During interviews, how do you talk about the “result” or “impact” of a consulting project you were on? I know how to talk about the problem/recommendation portion of a sample project but the result/impact, I mean, as consultants we don’t see recommendations executed and actually generating results. So how do you talk about it?

I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry.

I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up?
