Received a job offer that was same title and pay. After hearing more about the position, I felt that it was more senior. Asked if they were open to bringing me on as a senior, and they happily agreed….. except when I got the new offer, it was still the original salary lol.

I don’t want to come off as greedy, but this feels odd.

I really love the place and the people I’ve met, but this gives me doubts

lol How are you even considering this? Do NOT take that job. They just told you everything you need to know about working there.

Give them an out. Ask if it being the same salary was some sort of mistake. If they say no, graciously bow out, while making it obvious why. They’ll realize they completely dropped the ball.

If you all wanted an update, did exactly this. They didn’t budge. I’ve moved on lol

Thanks for the advice!

Don’t take it

Your best path forward here is to tell them the salary is what you’re currently making, so you feel it doesn’t reflect the increase in responsibilities enough for you to justify leaving your current role. And then ask to have a word with your current CD. Tell them that you’re happy where you are and want to continue to stay there, but, at the same time, you’ve been getting senior-level offers that have been difficult to turn down. Ask them if there’s a way for you to move up without leaving.
