Should I stay or should I go now?

Hey fam, I just received an offer from Zulily, and I'm deciding whether or not I should take the offer. As a side-note, I am no longer working for Amazon; I am now working for a start-up within a larger company. My offer @ Zulily is over 30% higher than my current TC and seems a lot more exciting than my current job. However, I'm a bit nervous, because Zulily has bad reviews on Glassdoor and on Blind. Honestly, I'd like to work elsewhere, but I've been receiving a lot of rejections lately. My manager says that I've already been approved for a promotion to senior engineer at my current company, but this promotion would not occur until after my current company has been acquired by another company -- my current company has offers and will soon be acquired by a new company. But, I don't feel any passion or motivation in my current role, due to the lack of customers. I haven't been able to ship any code in the past six months, due to a slow-moving business development team. Current TC: 130k Zulily Offer: 170k YOE: 3 Should I accept the offer? Or, should I wait for my promotion and keep looking for new roles? Thanks for looking! Love you all!

If you donโ€™t see yourself growing or learning anything, then just make a move.

That's a great point. Thank you for chiming in. I agree.

For a 40k raise i would take it. You will find challenges at ever place. Just take the leap.

Take it, get another company on your resume, then jump ship. Rinse and repeat.

My friend joined Zulily last month seems some teams doing great work and culture is good. If compensation is good you should join
