Scenario: you have plans to change careers but you get and offer at a different company with the same role (not in line with aspirations) but a 20K salary bump. Take the money or stay where you (1/2)

Can't you take the higher salary role and still work towards the long term goal ?

I don’t think it will impact your career goals anymore than sticking it out at your current agency for longer. Take the job, but keep looking. Just don’t be apparent to your new company that you’re already ready to leave. You need to be 100% focused on yourself to survive in this industry. Take the extra pay for the meantime and continue working to your goal

like

Without knowing what your aspirations are exactly, I'd say stay where you are and work ASAP on your aspirations. Going elsewhere adds stress to starting a new job at a new place with new people and dynamics and will take energy away from you working on the actual career change. You're already doing OK and have already established rapport and relationships with current coworkers

@analyst1 New jobs take so much energy out of you though- is it not better to find the new role that works toward a goal now, rather that defer & distract?

Or option #3 the new career? Don't defer your goals for 20k- 20k is nothing

Agreed, 20k is enough for it all to go to taxes

@Analyst OP- literally made that move a year ago. Still not happy in the role I’m in. If you know you don’t love your current role, I wouldn’t advise making a switch for the same role. Then you’re stuck with the same issue 6 months down the road, with a new move on your resume that you’ll have to explain to dream job company.

I vote for sticking it out where you are while you figure out how to make the career move you WANT. Good luck!

Plan to go to B-school in 3 years (1 year out of UG now). Long term goal is entrepreneurship. Have offers at a MBB firm for a generalist consultant role and at FAANG for a strategy role.

Sr. Digital Media Specialist here. Been with my agency for exactly 2 years now. I recently received a major elevation in responsibility, but the company “cannot afford to promote me at this time.” Basically I’m expected to operate as a manager without the title or compensation.

I like to apply for Product Manager roles at Amazon since I like the role. I have done front office CRM (SAP) implementations for Fortune50 clients through Accenture.
