I’m a pgm at Amazon and have a competing offer from tiktok where I’ll be making more and also have a better title (sr pgm). I truly like my job, team and manager and wouldn’t leave if the offer wasn’t so enticing. I’ve heard people tell me to try leveraging the competing offer to get more from my current company but I’m worried it’ll backfire and 1) i get a good counteroffer and I stay but there’s resentment from my boss who I liked 2) I’m forced to leave and take this job from tiktok where I know I’ll hate it. I just want more monies but I’m not sure how to go about this. Competing offer 215k Current Tc: 160k
no guarantees this will affect your relationship w your boss at all. I leveraged by boss in an earlier position, nothing changed— I just got paid better. you can always gambit the offer given you don’t want to take it. “I got an offer, but I’m not going to take it. But it was significantly more, and its clear my market value is higher than what I’m being paid, can we discuss a raise?”. Less heavyhanded, less chance of success by gambiting leverage, but better chance of smoothing relationships.
1. Why would your boss resent ? Hes paying from his own pocket to you?
