Got an offer for a higher salary, but I don’t want to leave. Do I even bring it up to my CD?

General rule of thumb is don’t bring up another offer if you aren’t prepared to take it and leave if your current job can’t/won’t match it.

Ask for the raise without mentioning the offer. Then you can decide what to do with the added information.

this.

Can you ask and say “hey I’ve gotten an offer for higher money. I’m really happy with the work I’m doing here, but am wondering if my salary can come up to match it. They’ve offered XX” Then it can be a conversation that’s less threatening and maybe you get a little extra $$$. Or they say no and you can stay too.

You also could remove the threat by saying “I’m not taking the job, I like it here, but I did want to explore whether the agency would reward me with a similar comp or some kind of bump”. You just have to be ok if they say no, and don’t feel shunned…

Nope. Just smile and go about your day.

This question comes up over and over. And I’m sure it will come up again. One way to think about it is this: You’re in a bar. An attractive person smiles at you—in a deliberate and enticing manner. Does that mean you should ask for something “additional” from your significant other?

Also, @AD1: Market value does not change because one employer is willing to pay someone more. MOST employers would have to be willing to pay that higher salary for a person’s market value to increase. I’ve seen many people jump for a higher salary, only to find themselves looking for work six months later. Water finds its own level. So do salaries.

If I am your CD, no. Don’t bring it up to me. If I am not your CD, ok.
