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.

Should I stay at a company I know I like culture-wise when my manager said they will try to promote me, but with no guarantee. Or should I take a job offer I was given with a nice raise, but is in consulting at Slalom. I have not worked in consulting before. There is no travel with Slalom, but the idea of being the new person all the time isn’t too appealing. Less pay and known culture, or more pay unknown job satisfaction?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
