Need advice. I recently joined a consulting firm as PPMD and got another offer - same level, better money, better brand. If I leave within 2 months, how would you navigate the exit?

Make sure your offer is firmly accepted and done deal before leaving.

And if you do - just let them know that it’s nothing personal (better money, etc). Not sure if I’d necessarily say better brand unless you’re T2 going to T1, but if you’re moving within the same tier firms - focus on other things and don’t say better brand unless you’re willing to burn some bridges.

Most firms if they know you’re going to a competitor firm will cut you off instantly anyways, so there won’t be much negotiation if any - unless you actually want to stay. In which case you should lead with that and say you received another offer thats very attractive and can the current firm match it (comp-wise).

Thank you. I’m speaking with an attorney this week and also have notified prospect employer that I’d like to have a light review with Legal to ring fence clients.

As for non-compete, it’s specific to working with clients that I had a “material” impact with. I’ve been here less than a month so that’s a very small list, if we were to count having knowledge of what we are doing in select accounts.

This is why I want to leave within a month to limit risk and client exposure.

Of course, I will not be soliciting any clients or people from the current firm.

Do what’s best for you and your family. If they were going to fire you they wouldn’t bat an eye.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Hello,
Can we get promotion after the mid year review in CitiusTech?
Or the promotion for the mid year already done?
I see for many people the designation has changed but for me it's not. I was under the impression that the promotion happens after the mid year discussion or after the year end discussion.
Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.
