The same pros and cons for every other consulting to industry scenario.

Keep in mind the cons of that role. No personal objections here, but once that “brand(?)” is on your resume you’ll be judged by others who might!

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago.

Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
