Would you guys consider leaving for a role that offers a much higher base salary but no opportunities to advance? Got an offer that’s an 85% raise adjusted for cost of living. The work seems interesting and I like the company but it’s a smaller office so I basically couldn’t get promoted unless my boss retires or quits.

Consider what is best for you now and in early years. You don’t have to stay forever, and could gain some valuable skills and experience for a future role. What is the opportunity cost today for you to switch?

Depends on what else I have going on in life at the time. Move to a low cost of living area in a job that isn’t time consuming with a hot wife you can plow and have some hobbies like golf or fishing on the weekends sounds amazing right now. But I don’t have a hot wife or hobbies so

It’s an 85% raise, how long would it take to get that at your current job? If you take it, it could set the floor for your salary negotiation for the next job.
