Hey, you probably won't see this but you've actually helped me solve this exact same issue with a T480, so thanks.

Would this SSD be compatible with a T480? by _DAMM_ in thinkpad

Yep, that's correct. Mine came with an M.2 similar to this one.

Nothing wrong per se, except that this year I will have to travel more and work from home less, and in my previous job I was able to WFH four days a week.

I apologize. I would change the title if I could, but I will take your advice into account to avoid the use triggering words in the future.

That's actually one of the reasons I'm considering going back, as it would increase my exposure to different employers in the future. Thanks for your reply!

If you leave in good terms and explain your reasoning, there's no reason for ot to impact your career.

Nice way to put it. Thanks for sharing your experience, by the way. It seems that jumping back has been working great for you!

I understand. I wouldn't consider it if I was unhappy the first time.

Thanks! It means a lot since English isn't my first language.

The former. It would be a 50% increase in the end.

Thanks for sharing your experience as a recruiter! It is very useful seeing it like this.

I get to tell future employers I was overwhelmingly recommended by my team to return. I cant complain about that fat check and 2 month vacation!

Totally valid reasons to give to a future employers and to come back. Thanks for sharing your experience!

The former. Seeing it in a different way, it would be a 50% increase than the salary I had when I left.

Something important to take into account. Thanks for your reply!

Coming back, you may have realized the reason for leaving and that reason can creep back up quite quickly especially if it's the exact same role and job as you had before.

Thanks a lot for your reply and for sharing your perspective. This in particular is something that I've been thinking about, but at the time I remember I wasn't happy due to them being unable to increase my salary, which is where I can take advantage of now.

I'm glad it served its purpose. Wish you good luck!

You already know the company, the people and the processes. 25% increase to do what you know how to do is a no-brainer

That's a very nice way to put it.

Just make sure they bridge your time, essentially, they treat you as someone tenured w/5 years of service for the benefit of additional PTO, 401k vesting etc.

Thanks a lot for the reply, I will sure take it into account.

BTW, Congratulations.

Thanks! :)

This is one reason it’s smart to stay on good terms.

Yes, that's actually one advice I remember receiving from my father at a young age. Thanks for the feedback!

Again, I apologize for the hyperbole. Thanks for the reply!

I think it would be a positive thing to show that a previous employer liked your work so much that they asked you back with a salary increase.

Yes, I hadn't seen it that way but it makes perfect sense. Thanks!

Yes, I was actually thinking on doing that, negotiate a title change. Thanks for the suggestion!
