Yep. Don’t regret it as no promo is guaranteed but I reminded myself there was a reason why i interviewed. starting over has been v tough and a blow to ego so the extra pay came with a lot of extra work and much less glory

I know of lots that did, none of them regretted it. Most of them did end up burning bridges though.

Probably manager and above is when your leaders start feeling salty. "Why'd they bug me so much if they weren't going to stay" etc. Not as big a deal compared to Dir or Ptr track, unless the firm is strapped for resources.

I left for a big increase right after SM promo. No bridges burned as far as I know.

I just got a job offer and while it’s not my *dream job*, it’s a great company, I’d be working under an amazing VP who I really clicked with, it’s fully remote, and in an industry I have experience in. The initial offer is $120k, but I have someone on the inside who said the absolute top of the range in the salary band is $150k. I plan to counter and will walk away for anything less than $130k. If you were me - what would your counter ask be?
