Thinking of making a switch from tech consulting to an AI transformation firm. ~10% raise on the base with much higher bonus potential. It is the exact type of role I’m looking to switch to. The catch is they are a strict 5 days in office and seem like much worse work life balance. Currently I have great work life balance and only go in person when I want to, I’m just not passionate about the work. How do I weigh this decision? Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like you're gonna burn out for a 10% raise an not get that bonus. Same reason I am looking to leave my team. Everyone that has worked with me gave me stellar ratings, but still got middle of the pack at CRT so bonus is rounding error. Unless there is equity involved, performance pay is should never be a deciding factor

How old are you? I would rip it if you don't have kids or crazy personal responsibilities, probably worth the significant career growth right now

You said you aren't passionate about the work you are doing now. Do you feel passion for AI or some aspect of the other position, or are you at a point where you generally don't expect passion for your job and figure more money, way of the future, good time to jump?

Five days a week in the office from almost entirely WFH is a huge difference.

My favorite part of consulting is helping the consultants I manage improve their public speaking by designing talking points, reducing their fear or anxiety around speaking, and improving their executive presence.

I read about people on this platform needing help in these areas. At the same time, I’ve been wanting to spend more time helping more people with these topics. If anyone would be interested in sharing about their public speaking-related challenges, feel free to DM!
