Fishes, I have an offer for 40% increase in base salary from a non-target company. I just received an interview invite from a target company. Salary increase will perhaps be the same. What would you do?

I second PM1. You won't see a job market like this for the rest of your career, strike when the iron is hot.

Why is it not a target/what about the other firm makes it a target? There’s a lot of great opportunities at companies people haven’t heard of/thought of that get passed up because of an infatuation with FAANG or something of the sort. In general though, I agree with PM1
