I was promised a promotion, then was told I wasn’t getting promoted, started applying to other places, fought for it and ended up getting promoted and a raise. I was just offered a job at another agency for $15k higher than the raise I just got. My mom was just diagnosed with cancer and was told to stop working so now I have to cover all of her expenses as well as mine and my husband’s (he’s back in school). I’d like to stay at my current agency but NEED the $. How do I navigate this?

Make the switch. If you had to fight for a promotion then they don’t value your work and the new place does.

Your current place may see it as being disloyal after they gave you what you wanted but you have to look out for you and if your new opportunity is better then do it.

Thank you!!

Take the money. How your current place treated you should be enough to tell you how they will continue to eff you over

I would say take the new position. They promised you a promotion and then only have it to you bc you fought for it? They don’t know your worth. And also don’t stick to their word.

Go to your current company and see if they’ll counter. Be honest and tell them these conversations with the new company have been happening for a while and it would be a great opportunity for you ($$$). If they don’t match or exceed the offer, take it if that $15k means a lot. More than $1k a month additional pay!

The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms.
