Feeling conflicted about wanting to leave my current company of a year where I feel I’m underpaid (despite praise from managers), though I love my coworkers and (sometimes) the work/clients. I know I can make a lateral jump somewhere else to make more, and I don’t want to get left behind in this hot market. I would be really sad to leave my current role, but really want/need more money. Anyone else going through this?

Im going through this same thing. Ive been interviewing and realized I could make up to 30k more. It’s emotional and hard, but if they wanted me, they would pay me more. Ive asked for a raise and it’s always “it’s coming, be patient”. I can’t afford to live comfortably and have to do what’s best for myself.

You should share this post to your boss. If you didn’t talk about it you should, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. And if not, go to a place where you feel appreciated. You can still hang out with your co workers after work

^ sounds like you both would benefit from interviewing around. A counter-offer has pros & cons, but it could be a good way to get the pay you deserve at an agency that you already like.
