Thoughts on accepting an offer at another consulting company with a pay and benefits cut? New company is a smaller firm, so there is potential for a better WLB. Same location

Depends on how much of a cut it is? Also how bad you want to stay in consulting?

I’d never switch jobs if it’s a pay cut. 20%+ bump or higher only.

For same industry I would not. WLB kist seems like a semi empty promise they’ll wave at you when not wanting to match comp.

If its a different industry than yes

Any help would be appreciated.

They need me at my job, but I’m being way under paid. I’ve asked twice for a pay increase. (With a no a a response) I want to put in my two weeks notice to see if they would consider giving me a pay increase.. but I don’t have a back up plan right now to do so. Any suggestions. It hard for them to find employees and the turn over rate is to the rooftop! I would be hard to replace at a short notice now that they are hiring like four new physicians and providers

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
