Need advice

Jan 27 10 Comments

Currently in a fin role. Hitting the 3.5 yr mark. Got promoted to a Sr 6 months ago. Thinking about switching jobs and have few interviews lined up.

Got an offer from Workday. Down-leveled one position so not a Sr. Total TC inc. bonus 136k (RSU offered but I haven’t included it in TC)

Current tc: 109k

Worried about the downlevel since I heard promos at WD are slow. Almost feels like I will have to start all over again hence slow career growth. Interviews at other firms are for a Sr role. What would y’all do? Accept or continue interviewing?

      Of course it “looks bad” but so does a company laying off their staff. Sometimes it can’t be helped. Gotta do you. It is quite honestly your best course of action. Take the other interviews and delay this decision to accept the offer in hand and accept if they push you to. Then if you get something better, renege and go after it. It’s their fault for giving you such a tight deadline anyways.

  • Levelling is not consistent across all companies.
    I usually don't worry about the titles.
    I check for:
    1. Do I want more money and will this offer give me?
    2. Will I learn new things that I want to?

    • Yes, they would certainly ask. At that point you can answer in various ways:
      1. Levels are not consistent across all companies.
      2. I am more excited about the work I will be doing and whether the work will push me to expand my perspective, skills, knowledge.

      Etc etc, hope you are getting my drift.

      HMs ask this question mostly to understand your personality and mindset.

      I understand that - thanks. The reason I was asking about the level is I don’t plan on switching every 1-2 yrs just for title. The role I got the offer is 2+ yoe vs I already have 4 yoe so just asking from that pov
