Just make sure the 4/18 is signed like Deloitte 1 days or you'll end up pissing someone off and be on the bench

Totally agree with Deloitte 2. If you are an analyst or consultant definitely wait for a week. Senior con looking for promotion may want to take it if it's a leadership position with multiple folks working under you. Manager or senior manager...well you're sort of fucked if you're not already integral to an account team so be free.

Also depends on your level too. It is harder to get out if you were pitched as a key resource.

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?
