You probably should. This way, you can get a better title and salary at your next role in industry.

Yes. I liked the company but really felt like part of a cost center. A lot of international travel (fun in short term, exhausting in long term), scopes getting larger and larger while budgets get smaller, aggressively cutting roles and moving jobs to Florida, office downgrades (pre-covid), and work got a bit redundant after a while. Most of my (former) colleagues left for another industry job but I went back to consulting

A promotion will give you a higher negotiation level to where you want to land. If you’re changing careers completely it won’t matter but if you’re staying in the industry that will make a difference.

Nobody cares about level because you’re at kpmg

I was joking. Of course it matters.

I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
