Significantly higher compensation. Opportunity to build management experience outside my current company.”In the following lines, he broke down his concerns and explained how either decision would impact his finances.Take a look at the full post:What did social media say?An individual expressed, “Hi friend. You are 40. That means you will need to optimise for your career goals and your personal values. Salary alone is irrelevant. The moment you start getting into line manager roles, you will need to continue the climb to executive/Director roles. Middle management is messy… You will be sandwiched. Otherwise, you will need to continue the IC path. It is not a downgrade because a lot depends on your personal values, strengths, and career goals. Best wishes!”Another commented, “You should switch for sure, as you told that already the counter is given, so your company is aware that you are looking and will drop you at the next chance. Also, being too long in the same organisation can slow your growth due to complacency. Just check that the new role itself is an upgrade. Not necessarily in the title, but in terms of learning and future growth opportunities also.”Also Read:
