I’ve been working FT while completing my masters online. I have a Winter 2023 consulting offer upon completing my masters and have been thinking about quitting my current job early and traveling before starting my new role. I just feel really shitty about it because I would be quitting my current role after only 6 months and they spent a lot of time and resources to train me. Wanted to see if others thought taking the time off to travel before starting a new role would be worth it.

Personally, I wouldn't leave early if you've only been there 6 months. I know that work life balance is important, but I wouldn't take more than a week between jobs if you can help it (coming from someone who took a month between jobs and regretted it)

That makes sense. I did a 5 year masters program so I never really had that break between school and work. I’m also living at home currently with no really big expenses which is why I was considering that but maybe I’ll take 2 or 3 weeks off instead. Thanks.

Good Afternoon. I have been with my current company for ten months. They quickly realized that I was overqualified for the position I was given.

Can I get suggestions on when would be the opportune time to ask for a raise? Should I wait until my one year anniversary? How should I go about this?

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs
