10 weeks paid vacay?! Nicccccce
Groupon will die off in the next 5-10 years imo
Do it. If it sucks, you leave in a year or two. It's not sounding like another year or two at PwC would be any better anyway.
Surely after 4+ years at the firm you have a better exit opp than Groupon?
For you, sounds like a good move albeit not long term. As a company, Groupon hasn't had the best years in the recent past including spending way too much cash trying to acquire/stop smaller competitors playing ball with the same idea that is not proprietary. They also ousted their original founder and CEO. Just don't buy the stock. If the stock is part of the total comp, sell it immediately when it vests.
Their stock hasn't been going well but seems like current leadership is taking steps to revive the company and I'll be joining their emerging products team which has high visibility
Half my team is on bench. We have a lot in pipeline and work about to start but it's just been slow last 2 months. I tried my best to get staffed just not happening, there is only so much I can do
I know a number of people who joined eBay when people said it was dead from EM level in consulting. Most are now senior execs or CEO's is great technology companies and a few are retired at 40.
OP- don't you think a 12% pay bump is too less? What industry/competency domain are you in?
I'm a Senior and I'll be joining as a Senior Manager. 12% bump in base
Senior for 4 years 😧 your coach wasn't fighting for you
Groupon has been very hungry lately and hit up a lot of people. Would try to get the inside scoop first - are they bleeding people or expanding? Money is on the former.
Curious to know what is considered an emerging product for Groupon. Are they aiming for 1) curated experiences similar to Airbnb's new platform, 2) daily flash deals like Amazon, eBay, or those click bidding sites like DealDash, or 3) competitor to traditional Kayak, Priceline, HotelTonight? These are basically the only directions I see this going. Fourth option would be to become more of an Etsy type but I think the brand name would hurt accruing a base of DIY vendors.
Use it as experience to move on to another, more secure digital platform company
Why are you on bench for 10 weeks? No wonder you didn't get promoted.
What're you waiting for?
Take it. Bench will kill you, not just this year but future
Groupon isn't doing that well are they
^5- 10 years , in today's economy is eternity.
Op@ what level are you in pwc ? And what level they offer you ?
