About to quit tomorrow and found out that I just got promoted
#tech
Currently work at Cisco Webex
So basically, I got a fully remote offer from a direct competitor (Zoom), and was planning to give my notice tomorrow.
But today is raise/promotion announcement day and my manager just let me know that I'm getting promoted from G6 to G8 (basically SDE2 to SDE 2.5? G10 is Senior SDE).
Old Cisco TC: 116k
New Cisco TC: 131k
Zoom 1st year TC: 218k (Level is ZP3 which is same as Cisco G8 AFAIK)
Zoom 1st year TC breakdown: 135k base, 8% bonus, 52k RSU per year (210k over 4 years) and 20k sign on
2nd year and so on assuming stock price doesn't tank: 198k
How do I tell my manager about this diplomatically without burning bridges?
Edit: Just gave my 2 weeks notice. Feels bad tbh because I truly enjoyed working here and my manager is a really good manager..
YOE: 3.5
Location: Dallas,TX

I applaud you for the big salary/TC increase. You earned it!
Be professional with your manager. State the facts. Leave amicably.
