Ex-boss, now external, offered me a role. Offer is not “official” but it’s a serious offer. Was asked to consider joining so I can go through the HR/recruiting process of a formal offer. While I would leave to work for them, I’d prefer to stay if I was offered the same money at current firm. Should I or can I talk to my current manager about a raise while mentioning this unofficial offer? I don’t want to burn bridge with ex-boss by going through hr process to then decline if current firm matches

I either pursue the external offer and leave. Or I decline. But I don’t want to pursue it and use it as leverage for a raise here. At least not with this opportunity.

How much difference in comp are we talking about?

Yes obviously that’s factored in. All in comp is 15-18% higher
