Just got an offer for an extra 50% of my salary. I currently make somewhere in the 80s. Currently up for promotion right now at my current firm. Should I jump? The offer is for my same level.

50% bump? If it's a job you want to do, id make that jump.

Hm what does the promotion structure look like at the new place? If salary is more important than title for you right now then I say take it. Because even if you get promoted at current firm your salary will not increase by 50%.

Up for promo≠you are guaranteed to get promo. You may even get promo with a pay decrease. Follow the money

I personally believe that in ones 20s the focus should be experience, prestige, brand name, advancement rather than compensation. 30s is when you start cashing in.

All else equal or similar go for salary, but if your current job has more of what I describe, I wouldn't jump.

Had the same situation, jumped but I didn’t have a strong interest in the group that I was in.

How did it work out?

What’s the likelihood that your promo is a 50% increase?

I just received an offer on a job I would really like to accept. The salary offer is about 25% higher than my current salary, which I am happy about, but is also the low $ on the range I had expressed to the recruiter and the exact $ that I put on the online application (I had to put a $ figure). Am I being greedy trying to negotiate for a bit higher? Do they expect me to counter? I have been burned by NOT negotiating in the past but who can be mad at a 25% increase??

Tips for 6-month eval? Originally hired at 35K as assistant and was told if I performed well, I could expect to make 50K after a year.

Thinking about asking for 46K, new cellphone and official title change. I'm expecting some negotiating, which I've never done. 24F, AA Bus Admin, and overall good employee
