Taking a lateral move just for a higher salary (i.e. not exactly your preference or aligned to goals), mistake, or power move?

Yes you’ll spend the first 3-5 months training whether hands on or formal, and it may open up new doors you didn’t know existed.

Go with your gut - does it feel like a good next move for you?

Not sure why this would be a “power move” lol

Not really a power move unless you have no interest in moving up for a while

How much are we talking? How much of a pivot are we talking? Could be a career limiting move for sure or could be totally fine, just need more context

Depends how much higher and your current momentum, moving companies can take the wind out of your progress

So absolutely not a power move, whether it’s a mistake or not depends on how much money you’re getting and how it looks in 6 months

Not a power move, but many factors will determine whether it’s good or bad on the whole.

I once took a step down in rank for more money, hated it, and slingshot into something totally different (which hired me due to the experience doing the thing I hated). So you really never know.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe).

I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
