I received a contract offer with the opportunity to transition into a full time position with Aerojet Rocketdyne.
 
I was wondering how to go about bringing up intentions of leaving with your manager? 
 
I am still a little on the fence as to whether or not I am going to take the position. The contract offer is higher than what i am making now but the initial salary range i was told for the full time position is about the same as my current salary. However, It is in a field I am looking to switch into.
 
I was planning on mentioning that i received a higher offer to my current manager to see if they might provide any sort of a salary bump. I just don't know if that is the best idea if i am not willing to take the current contract offer and leave right now. 
 
Any advice you could provide would be very helpful! Thank you

YOE: 5 systems engineer
Current TC: 120K
Contract offer: 160K
Initial salary info for full time: 120K (manager mentioned they would look into increasing that after I told him my current salary)

      Yeah Boeing edges out in Benefits over Rocketdyne. I did get contacted by the recruiter though and she said that the pay bump for a full time would be closer to 15% of my current salary. My friend that just went to BO said he got a 35% pay bump from Boeing and Boeing matched the original offer he was given from Blue before he went back and counter offered for even more.

      Current plan is pitch the offer to my manager and hope they counter with a higher offer at Boeing. Sounds like there’s a good likelihood that they’ll at least give some kind of a bump.

      Stick with Boeing for now, assuming I get the bump, and keep applying for full time positions at under space companies in the Seattle area

    Got some good feedback from a previous co worker that if you bring your current offer they will probably counter/beat it because they are desperate to keep their good talent right now
