Hopefully, I am using this sub right correctly as I am 40 and considering making a move in my career. As of now, I’m expecting an offer that would keep me within the same industry (consulting/professional services) but moving from a very small to a very large company. I would be more or less at the “top of the pyramid” but would be a considerable shift in my work life balance.
Alternatively, I have been speaking with many companies that are “in industry” (traditional FTE positions) and there could be some potential opportunities there. I’m struggling to determine what I really want out of my next move. Besides continuing to move “up the ladder” and I’m interested in getting some perspective on this.
Has anyone had success with a career counselor or similar job title to talk through opportunities and align on objectives?
