Would you leave for another offer if it was only a financial benefit? (15% salary bump and 10% higher performance bonus per year). Been wanting to move, but everything but pay is better at my current company. Team, benefits, WLB all better for me now. But I’m scared that if I don’t take it, I won’t get a monetary increase like this again, or any other offers lol. (I’m in HR at a consulting firm and the role would be another HR role at another consulting firm)

Jump and keep on jumping. Get better money and better titles elsewhere. Come back to your current firm in a few years with a title and a salary that matches your true worth.

Get the offer and intend to take it. When you tell your current firm they might match. Best of both scenarios!

All those other things have value. You just have to weigh what they're worth to you. As someone with a lack of work life balance, I'd say if you've got it pretty good where you're at and you're living comfortably... why leave?

So it sounds like you're not living comfortably - I'd jump ship, in that case.

I am in the same boat

I feel for both of you. Neither of you sound like you really want to leave. It’s minimal risk to ask for what you are worth at your current company. Do the research, show them the market and what competition is, show what you’ve accomplished and let yourself shine. Then, ask for what you’d like. If they balk, that says a lot about what you’re giving up for them.

I’m literally in the same boat!!! I just can’t decide…

Are you financially comfortable right now? Would you like working for the other company - culture, people, mission, reputation, etc.? All things to consider. Have you spoken with your current company about your financial future? Money is a key factor, for sure, but so is your overall happiness. If you really like your job now, see what you can do to make it work. If they can’t/won’t give you what you want/need financially, just be sure that you won’t be giving up more than you’re getting if you leave (in terms of non-financial things).

I would leave for higher pay 100%

Or do you think I overstepped the line By being so transparent about my wants for compensation and within the organization?
