Take 60% raise on lateral move or keep looking? (non-tech)
4 YOE in finance/ops in NYC. TC ~$95K Offer from direct competitor for 60% raise. Basically the same job. The new job would not incrementally help my resume or career development and if anything, would involve using fewer technical skills (Tableau, etc.) than my current role. I think my TC is low for my YOE/skills/market so I want to keep looking for a better company/role the next few months. Am I crazy?
It's a good raise. Still ~160 for 4 years exp sounds less than it should be. What do u think?
take it and keep looking
You can also talk to your current manager to see if they'll match the offer from the other company, then still continue shopping around.
I think it probably depends on direct competitorās company reputation. If the new offer company has a great reputation and youāll get paid more, it still logically looks like progression and a good step. If itās not as ideal of a company but higher pay, Iād say keep searching for the right fit
If it's a good deal overall, take it and keep looking for the better.
True. The initial phone screen HR said they wanted a two year commitment so maybe this has happened before š. I am anxious person so I would hate leaving after a couple months
