Need some advice from the fish... I got an offer from another shop that’s very competitive with my current salary. Same role. Should I take it and run or give my current shop a chance to rebut?

Competitive or +20%? I wouldn’t leave current agency for similar money unless there was a reason to leave a good situation.

New offers risk. But potential great reward. As an old boss once said to me, you probably already made your decision. Be honest with yourself about what it is and act on it

Probably depends most on your experience with current shop. Something motivated you to interview, so agree with CD1 you should examine your instinct and decide accordingly. If you are reasonably satisfied with your current state and foreseeable future there 80% of the time, might be worth staying where you are. If it’s a weekly pep talk to your mirror to cope, the new opportunity might be a better bet.

New shop is less established than the current. Still good work. But maybe less firepower

Broccoli rebut?

Only offer your current shop the chance to match /give you a raise if you would actually be ok with staying there. Otherwise make a change

I work through a contractor, and was hired 2yrs ago to be a Systems Test Engineer II. They decided last minute to make me a Software Content Manager, but kept my title as is since it was supposed to be a 6mo rotation. I’m still an SCM, and am taking on leadership roles in the group. How do I ask for a title change and pay increase to reflect what I actually do? Do I ask my contract house, or my NASA mgmt? Should I ask to make the pay retroactive since I was hired to do one thing, but do another?

I see them on eBay for $700-1200, so who knows…
