Took role at boutique firm (one of 3 I applied to), and on day 2 there, offer came in from one of the others. Much better $$$ (30% more), work aligned with my interests, but on day 9 at first firm...

An old boss of mine said “you work for yourself and no company can ever guarantee they will be loyal to you” . Be honest with the first company but take the offer that matches your skills and money requirements.

Leave. They wouldn’t hesitate to fire you if they needed to so why feel guilty about leaving

Healthcare is a small world... proceed with caution. Depends on who you burn and how vindictive they are, you could find yourself unemployed.

No one cares about you at the moment (except may be 1-2 people), so there are not many bridges to burn. Jump the ship.

If you’re going to leave do it now. Don’t wait any longer because firms invest a lot of time and energy on boarding new team members and you don’t want to waste their time

When it rains it pours right? I’d say go for it. Just be open and honest about the decision with ur current firm and no one can really fault you.

Agree with proceed with caution. When bridges burn, there is always a chance to regret it later. One could say you didn't get all options which can reflect decision making skills negatively.

Do I take the better offer and burn the bridge, or suck it up for a year? These firms don't compete, but have partnered in past, so makes for awkward situation...

Go!

I agree with MD1...healthcare consulting is a small world and everyone knows someone. The top execs at small boutique firms are probably more connected than most Bc that’s how they make their coin—on leveraging those relationships. I am not saying you have to stay, but MD1 said it best—proceed with caution.

I received a job offer for a PM position with a base of $125K and a 10% bonus, fully remote and ok benefits. The parental leave is pretty bad, just FMLA and STD/LTD so the most I’d get is 60% of my salary for 12 weeks. I’ve cancelled most of my interviews except for one where the pay is $135K, 20% bonus, hybrid schedule, good benefits and 16 weeks fully paid parental leave. I’d like to start my family in a year or two - is it better to take the remote gig or the hybrid role with full paid leave?
