Stay and find a good gig. I wouldn’t take a 50K bump if it means that I’ll be there for only 3/6 months.

STAY! Keep looking elsewhere if you want to move out of your current position.

Stay!!! You need to add up wear and tear fuel and maintenance. Drive time to and from locations which you need to subtract the hours spent in traffic from your pay as well. Sounds like a terrible option. Stay until you find a great position worth the switch. If you consider the wear and tear fuel and time spent driving to and from clients and from home that 30k increase in pay is really only 10k especially if you are going to need to purchase another car.

Stay for sure. Can’t replace good people around you. You could take that same year and go all in on somewhere else and make the same $ being happy versus a year of being miserable

Hi guys, I am looking for a change after 11 years serving in the current organization. I have total 13 yrs exp. with only 13 LPA as I am in the same organization and didn't switch. With EY in the HR discussion they stated 19.4 LPA fixed, but I requested for 20 LPA fixed (though the difference is not much). The HR stated they may need to take approvals and the call ended. Do you know whether they will come back? How many days usually it takes HR to come back? It's the 3rd day almost.

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
