What the protocol for taking an offer from a direct competitor mid-project? I'm pretty sure that it'll be a disaster if I leave.

Look out for yourself first but if you take the offer, exit as gracefully and respectfully as possible. Never know when or how a burned bridge will haunt you.

No obligation to tell them. If it's a competitor in the consulting space they should understand you wanting to wrap up the project (assuming you want to). Based on friends who have moved around i would say most try to finish the projects to leave in good standing.

Try to make the transition as smooth as possible for them by making a plan, finding a replacement, and doing the transition with them through it all.

^listen to PWC1

If you tell your current firm, they'll make you leave that day for the most part. I'd take care of everything before actually announcing it

Thanks everyone. My project has 3 months left. Is it at all common to defer an offer to complete? Is that typically even an option if going to the competition? And are you under an obligation to tell them you have an offer? Thoughts appreciated.

Took my first vacation (1 week) in over a year to visit family. Was bombarded by emails from one partner asking me to complete non-time sensitive motions, which he hasn’t even bothered to review. This is my third firm in three years (first I left as I was severely underpaid, second I left for a 100k increase in salary), but this lack of respect for my boundaries has made me want to move again once I’ve completed 18 mos. Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so. After a week of interviews with the team (softball-esq), I was informed that if I wanted to join, they would bring me on at a lower title. I’m not sure about comp yet. But if comp is still an increase + experience at a public..
