95% of the time senior title in industry doesn’t mean a supervisory role, it just denotes more experience or makes candidates feel better.

You’ll have to evaluate what is a dead end by looking at the composure and tenure of the group, asking about advancement opportunities, if the company will continue to grow etc

Great point, thanks!

It’s also worthwhile to know yourself. What specific to you skills are you bringing to the table? Will your work speak for itself? Not supervising others doesn’t make a role dead end, if you’re in a good company your work will be recognized and your leadership will want to create a position that takes advantage of all your skills.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?
