I currently work in local government. But the only thing is my current position is temporary, no benefits or possible pay raises. I was offered a permanent position with the State government Yesterday I notified my manager of my two week notice and now miraculously she is saying I have an opportunity to interview for the supervisor position an I love my current job. This position is full-time permanent with benefits but the pay is 10k less than the State.What should I do?

It's probably a good idea to move on to the state job. You're being offered a opportunity to interview for a better job, which is no guarantee of anything. And seriously, if it took you giving notice to get them to offer even that, you should just move on. There's probably more opportunity ahead of you at the state level, which is something to consider.

I would look carefully and not just the salary difference but the benefit and raise differences. State and local raises can be very different so I would review the pay raise schedule over at least the last 5 years and see which one on average is higher. Also, insurance cost and retirement may be different. Sounds like it is between staying at current local department but promoted (not a sure thing) or state job. Good luck!

Benefits with the state are usually above average . The pay and the training with the state is usually better. The state would be the place to grow in your career.

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?
