Interviewing for an AMD position offering $30k more than I’m currently making (at the low end of the salary range provided). I like my team a lot but it’s hard to not feel resentful of the lower pay when I’ve been doing the work of multiple people during staffing shortages.

If I get an offer, it’ll be hard to turn down but wondering if anyone went after money/quick promotion and regretted it?

Not sure about regret but I literally just left a shitty situation for a $30k bump from where I was. I also loved my team and it was a really hard choice.

Make sure the new company still aligns with what you are looking for in terms of clients, benefits, culture, etc. I never recommend jumping just for the money but if all the other things are there, plus the money, plus the promotion… you may be making the best decision for YOU

I’ve went after money and regretted since the work at the new place was menial but I was making 30k more than previous and the title was lower.

I've never truly regretted it - one shift was into a role that wasn't quite right for me, but I worked internally to switch positions and eventually left again. Those big pay bumps can be life-changing.
