I currently have a strong job offer outside of Target (roughly a 20% raise). I work in Supply Chain in HQ. I’m having a hard time deciding if I should just stick it out through this hard period or if I should leave. It’s with a well established Fortune 500 company here in the Twin Cities. How would you evaluate this with Target’s potential in the future? I’m afraid to jump.

@OP you should leave. Like, yesterday.
@j3 hoe would you compare it to an Oil and Gas Major like ExxonMobil
Please tell us you left.
Target is pure garbage. People are still holding on to what they knew.
It’s gone. Dead. Replaced by a puppet show. Fiddelke is a cold fish propped up by marketing. He's an accountant at best.
Depends on which Fortune 500 company your offer is with in the Twin Cities. If it is US Bank, Honeywell, Optum or UHG, you REALLY won’t like those cultures compared to Target. The morale has been tanking at USB for a while. If it is 3M, Cargill, General Mills, tread carefully, they do layoffs almost on a schedule every 2-5 years. If it is Best Buy, Capella, Ecolab, Land O’Lakes, Patterson Dental, Medtronic, Allianz, or Boston Scientific, sure, go for it and try it out.
Even if target's future were bright, it would take years of raises to equate a 20% bump, even a promo wouldnt get you there. This is a ludicrous question, take the offer.
Anything else is self sabotage.
Are you serious? Yes. Leave.
Run! Run like wind!!! 💨
Take the job. This place is cooked.
Make like a tree and leave
Grab onto that life raft with both hands! Don’t stay on this sinking ship out of loyalty - they just proved how valuable that is to target.
Leave ASAP - one thing TGT does is train. Use those skills and make more money.
Run.
Shutup and take their money!
Take it and don't look back
OMG of course, yes.
I don't see the downside. 20% bump, established company and they actively want you. Target is not a growth company, especially with the recent layoffs and sending many positions to India.
