I don’t dislike my job but starting to think about moving. However the roles I’m getting interviews for pay 5-10k more base, and a discretionary bonus between 10-15%. On the low end this is a 14% salary increase…is it worth it to move for this? It’s more than an annual raise or a promotion tbh but I’m conflicted

I'd keep interviewing but only pull the trigger if the total package is meaningfully better, not just base. Factor in the bonus structure, benefits, PTO, commute, team culture, everything. A $10K bump that comes with worse insurance and an extra hour of commuting isn't really a raise. But if the full picture is better and the role is more interesting, 14% is a solid reason to move. You don't need to hate your job to leave it.

This is a good take, thanks SE1

Moving for a 14% increase seems like it would be at the low end of what someone would require. However, if you'd be moving to a company you'd rather work for that might be a good reason. Or if you thought there was greater chance for advancement. It's still a raise, and if it holds promise for the future it might be worth more than it seems just going by the numbers.

This is true, I’d have to think about other factors as well beyond just the salary

Salaries in PA have really caught up to industry since Covid. I know people who took the same or a slight decrease to move for better wlb. While it does happen it’s not as common to get a 25%+ increase when jumping anymore.

How much you among now? And to get 10k more than what yr making now , that's not enough? There's ppl living paycheck to paycheck. Significantly less than 10k a month.

Thanks for the reminder, Daniel. Gratitude always 🙏

Have you seen the job market?! You’re lucky you’re standing to get a double digit increase! Take it!! Leaving Deloitte is always a good thing, leaving for ANY increase in this market is a very good thing, leaving for 14% is a very very good/great thing. Dont look back!
