Situation: have a strong likelihood to get a promotion in my current job over the next 6 months, but got an offer for a role that’s more interesting but it’s a lateral at my current level. I’m thinking of sharing this with the hiring manager and seeing if the new role would bring me in a level higher. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with a similar situation?

Is the firm the same caliber and similar service line? Assuming it is, I think this will go over fine with hiring manager and be a productive discussion. If it’s something new, or level up firm, I don’t think you should stretch it for a new title but perhaps as part of your comp discussion

Thanks! New firm is smaller, it would be in a different area that I’d be more interested in but a lot of transferable skill sets
