Offer for a senior analyst/ associate role at Disney corporate strategy (woo!) but likely to make EM in the next few months if I stay put. Entertainment is the right space, but comes with a 35% pay cut and slower title trajectory. Super conflicted. Anyone have any advice or guiding thoughts?

Will you have this oppty again? Do you even want to be an EM and do EM work, or just want to get the promotion? Does DIS have better WLB in return for lower TC?

Let us know what you ultimately decide!

Disney tends to downlevel in exits from what I’ve read. You’ll be working with a lot of smart people, which means the growth trajectory will likely be slow.

For anyone still following, I’m taking the job :). Can live with a pay cut and if I hate it, can always come back to McK. The group is high visibility so isn’t a downgrade on the resume at all (esp. since I want to be in the entertainment space)

Haha makes sense I guess since Disney is such a cool company to work for. But you could probably fetch $175-200 in other industries…would take a lot for me to go down that much.

Hi Guys,
Broadcomm offered me Principal Engineer position, how much CTC I can ask them. Please suggest
CCTC: 21 LPA
YOE: 10+

Is there a disparity between the SWE TC AND NETWORK ENGINEER TC? I see that SWEs with 2YOE in Google get TC ~45L INR.
However, It was told that 30L INR would be the highest possible value for a network engineer role with 2YOE. Is that a low-ball or is that how the market scenario is?
How much salary can one expect/negotiate as a L3 NETWORK ENGINEER in Google? YOE: 2 CURRENT TC: 22L INR

Hiya Guys, so I can tell I am burned out and inching into the grey pit of complacency. The burn out is already here, but the slide into grey-pit is not acceptable. I have a masters in business admin, 8+yrs of hospitality management experience, and a bachelors in science.

I really need advice/strategy for skill development, despite burn out and the weakened motivation. I am in a role that can, (in 2+ yrs), make me eligible to start at entry-level position in an area I want. I don't have 2 yrs.

Hi Fishes.
I’m an L4 IC. I just got promoted to L4 in an off cycle promotion. It’s been only a month and since it’s a CS based role we work in Night Shifts. I feel monotonous within a month as it is a Virtual role.
I started to look for roles in JobFinder. The HMs are okay to consider, but the thing is “How do I say it my Current Manager??”
Can anyone give a subtle idea, such that my Current manager agrees even though its a month only?
