Have an offer that’s doubling my TC (think a few hundreds less than a 1m). On the flip side, I have quite a good relationship with my current boss; I have shared the offer with him and I’m shocked he wants to match it. Does it make sense to stay? These are the points I’m considering:

1. Offer is in an industry w/ a better fit based on my interests/background
2. I initially interviewed for a more senior with my current boss but he lowballed me at the time and gave me a junior role; what has …

It sounds like the new role may be a better fit for you. Do you gain anything by staying that you cant get in the new role? I always pay extra attention to opportunities Im given only because I forced my leadership to make a decision. What was the reason you werent given that more senior role before? What changed other than the offer? If you cant justify your current boss wanting to match the offer with any reason other than loosing you I would say they dont value you and it may be time to move on.

… changed now that he’s willing to bump me up to a level much higher than I initially interviewed for? Does he really believe in my capabilities or is he just trying to save face and prevent me from leaving? Am I putting a knife to his throat and making him do something he wouldn’t have done on his own?
3. There are a lot of other people (at similar levels to me right now) who have been in those roles for much longer and will have to stand back and watch me leapfrog them by a lot. Would this not create some dissatisfaction within the team? Shouldn’t I feel bad for them?
4. If I stay and accept this huge raise, would I be under more pressure to deliver and justify all the faith my boss is placing in me and likely the politically capital he will be expending?

Context: I’m a few months into my current role and I work in industrial goods sector.
