[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Follow up question.  What if company did try and retain you as evidenced by resume?  Like, got promotion to next rung and you left 2 months later because opportunity was too good to pass up/new job counter offered to beat promotion.[/quote]

If it's truly just a rungs/title promotion, not a problem for me, although I'd be pushing you hard on judgement (what made you want to leave, what made you decide to stay, what made you change your mind and be talking to me now, what are the chances you're about to use my offer to do the same thing again?)

Leaving immediately after a substantial promotion (e.g. something like taking on a team) would be a yellow flag I would want explained.[/quote]

I should add... I can't think of a reason to tell anyone you took a retention promotion (vs. just a regular promotion).  [/quote]

Sorry, I was a little too theoretical there.  Promotion wasn’t retention-based but regular but I was pretty far down the road with another company unbeknownst to current employer.  Took the promotion as I figured I earned it but gave notice as soon as background check cleared 2 weeks later and stayed another six to help transition.  Let new employer know in passing and they offered additional RSUs worth about $200K over 3 years.  Smart of new employer tbh since it incentivizes me to stay.

But it sounds like the gist is that’s still a yellow flag, which is really helpful to know.  I tend to keep getting better offers (many unsolicited) but I agree that gravy train ends at some point.[/quote]

$200K over three years isn't very much.  Some of the big tech companies offer much more a year in RSU's. [/quote]

I was already taking the job.  But lol, thanks for the helpful comment.  And my husband is a big law partner so this is my mommy track position.  I’m well aware what FAANG (I guess MAANG) pay…[/quote]

Haha imagine bragging about your husband's job on the internet. This is why women get paid less than men. [/quote]

You must not have been on DCUM long. Fully 20-30% of posts are by women bragging about their biglaw partner husbands, or in some cases, women asking about how to snag a rich husband like that. It’s maybe the #1 most disturbing thing about this board to me (I am a woman). [/quote]
