Reply To: How do you know when it’s time to leave your job?

Well, the job would effectively double my salary. I thought I was shooting for the stars when they asked for salary expectations but I was still $20K under the starting range. But I don’t think it’d be the right fit. The team the new person would be leading is currently understaffed and going through some transitions, so they had questions about strategic leadership in the context of transitions. Which I do not have. The role, though hybrid, also seems to have the expectation of going in at least four days per week due to the seniority of it and it’s on the south side of the city, which would be over an hour on public transit. I think I could deal with a less-than ideal commute a couple days/week, but not every day. Anyway, I did my best!

@ktfran The AAM post I read about needing people management experience for a people manager role was from someone who wrote in essentially asking if it always feels like a catch-22. Internally, the LW was not getting people management experience, but she’d come across that road block of outside employers dinging her for not having it.
