Would you boomerang to an old job that pays more than your current role if they reached out to you?

I might consider a boomerang scenario if the offer was attractive. I left my previous job on good terms, and I wouldn't have any strong emotions about going back. But, I'd also need some encouragement of the financial variety before I'd leave where I am now. I've known people who say you can never go back to a previous employer, but I don't really see the point of that sentiment.

It really depends. I've left some amazing jobs for better opportunities and I miss my old coworkers and work environment terribly. But I've also left jobs that were remarkably toxic and draining on my mental health. I think it would depend on why I left and how much they were offering.

Without a doubt! I have zero issues with going back to an old employer. I know some people stick to the "I left for a reason" theory, but I have no shame in giving something another try as long as it wasn't a toxic environment or something.

It depends on the old job. There are a few companies I've left that I'd happily return to and only left because of pay. There are others you couldn't pay me enough to return to.

100% yes. Actually, I'd boomerang if they matched my current salary and would allow 100% remote work. I miss my old firm.

Honestly, it would really depend on why I left to begin with. If I left because the culture and environment were bad, then probably not. However, if I left for more pay then yes I would absolutely go back for a higher salary.

Personally for me never, there’s a good reason I left the places before so I wouldn’t believe they have changed

I'm in the final round of interviews for two internal positions - both vertical. One has FTE's (my first such experience) and the other a much broader scope vs my current role

I had interviewed externally for a role on par w the internal roles, at a smaller and less established company. They confirmed +20% was in their range

How do I push back on my company if they offer less than that, if I do want one of those roles? Without a pay scale, what is the best way to approach?

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?
