I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer. I’m so worried about work/life balance if I take this offer. Also worried about layoffs in a year or two when the market gets back to normal. I’ve got an infant and a 5 year old. I know that I can manage my current workload. I don’t want to pass up a great opportunity but I’ve got to be available for my family too!

Due to colder weather, I've been running on the treadmill instead of outdoors, but I find I get warmer/sweatier indoors (maybe because no breeze?). I've been getting an itchy, red rash on the front of my neck after every session. I think it's maybe heat, maybe salt from sweat.

Does anyone have any advice?

When having career discussions (with a HM or your current boss), how has everyone handled job-titles that weren't "Product Manager" but you were performing the functions/role? I had a role in my past where our formal job title was "Senior Consultant" but we internally referred to ourselves as "Product Leads". I don't want to mislead others.
