Just as it’s important to exit a company gracefully , so is it important for a company to be gracious to you on your way out... bridges go both ways.

same here. As a former RGA, I’d never work there ever again. Treated like a piece of garbage during the exit process. HR person was the worst and knew what they were doing, but they were just careless. It was like ‘ we are rga and you are just a small puppet. We know you can’t harm us. Piece of shits..

Lol coming from R/GA. I’d never work there again. They cut me without warning even after I helped win a piece of business and accidentally sent my partner an email with his own termination in it as an item on the intended recipient’s to-do list. Clueless and zero class. Though I did like Bob.

Do tell?

It’s not juicy gossip - just my own observation after giving notice how quickly I became dead to them. It’s been an awkward two weeks to say the least. A good reminder that at the end of the day you are only a resource to a company.

Am I crazy to take a pay cut to “chase my dream”? Manager looking to leave Bain - I want to do corporate sustainability - I got an offer for a traditional corp strategy job at $195k base, $23k bonus (no longer-term incentives aka no equity / profit sharing), so similar to current comp except for NAP, but am hoping something sustainability-related comes through. Right now in talks for a sustainability director role that would be closer to $160k base / $20k bonus. (More in comments)

I’ve had several great interviews with a few diff companies. Or rather, I thought they went well but then I get the dreaded “thanks but we made the difficult decision to move forward with other candidates”. I’ve asked for feedback but so far have gotten none.

I know it’s competitive out there, but I also don’t know how I can either position myself better, seek positions that are more aligned with my expertise/experience, or work on improving certain areas.

Any advice on how to proceed?
