Old boss I like just joined a new company as Global CCO, wants to bring me in as director. I’m happily employed and not a huge fan of his new company, but it’s a double promotion (I’m 27). Thoughts?

CCOs can make big change happen but transformation takes allies. If you trust and respect in this boss and their vision- do it ( as long as a huge raise is in that as well). Leave your current agency on the best possible terms- offer then extra time even for the transition, as in a couple years time you may want to return

There may not be a right or wrong decision based on so many things. Ultimately, go with your gut and do what you really want to do and not what you or others think you should want to do.

You’re young - do it if you think the risk is worth it AND the CCO is big time.

@SVPMD what defines big time?

How long have you been at your current company? If you’re comfortable enough, have an honest conversation about your excitement and hesitation to take on the role and then follow your gut after that convo.

If you’re happy where you are don’t leave.

@AS1 I’ve actually only been where I’m at about 3 months

Hey!

I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!

I graduated with my MBA in finance in 2020 and began working at a bank as a Management Trainee. 2 years later, I am an assistant to a financial advisor studying to become a financial advisor. However, I have to do this on MY time and not the bank's.
