Someone who is currently senior to me is taking a more senior role at a smaller regional bank. They want to poach me (more $, mgmt role, etc) 1) Should I factor bank size? 2) Will this burn a bridge?

You're at DB... given recent news, is that really a bridge you want to keep?

Follow someone who will take care of you. Which bridge is more important to you? The one ahead or the one behind?

It's business- it's not burning a bridge to take another opportunity. They will continue on with or without you- take care of yourself and do right by your colleagues. Loyalty is to people- not a company.

The fact that senior guys are bailing on db would say to me that the firm having some issues isn't fake news. It's news.

You should strongly consider the move if you truly enjoy working for that person and believe that you can learn and grow through the continued experience. While maybe some seniors may feel slighted (egos) your peers will not and won't feel differently about you. Just make sure you don't have any legalese in your current contract that could allow DB to sue you, your old boss, or your new firm for poaching... that's actually a thing.

DB is fine, not worried about fake news. However if upper management feels as you do and bolts [which some are], then I could be left with poor personal relationships across the industry....That makes the issue of 'will this burn a bridge' very important to consider.

You're overthinking it.

NeedMore$:
I started QA at the company I am currently at 3 years ago. Long story short, within 4 months at the company, I was able to make a career change and step into a PM position. Without having the formal education or PM experience, only my 5 years in QA experience. When I started I made $65k and have jumped to $78k. I have seen other companies post $100k+. Annual review is tomorrow. Should I fight for more or look for more somewhere else if I lose that fight?
