It's great to be able to negotiate from a position of power like that, isn't it? There's something to be said for sticking with the devil you know, and there does come a point where time is more valuable than money. It's a tough decision though-I went through something similar earlier this year, and ended up deciding to stay where I was and take the counteroffer, rather than the new job. Maybe see if you can get your current boss to match the 25% from the other offer? |

If you like the job you have, better the sh** you know than the sh** that lies ahead. Often there is no going back if things do not work out, so money should not be the motivating factor.
My two cents..and maybe that is all it is worth. |

Agreed. Working with a guy you know you like is better than 7% more with what may turn out to be an A-hole. |

OK, here goes:
The new job has a base salary that is 10% lower than my actual salary, BUT... minimum commision brings it up to 6% higher. Maximum commission raises it up to 24% higher. Maximum commission has been attained 4 times in the last 7 years.
My current job is counter-offering. I will know more Tuesday morning, but looks like their hands are somewhat tied.
I will take the weekend to think about it anyways. The higher salary comes with more responsibilities. |

I am going for it! I went to see my boss before leaving for the weekend. I found out he has NO poker face at all. 1- when I showed him the offer, he went bugeyed and most importantly 2- when he mentioned that the max salary for my job "might" go up, he let slip that my percentage of salary Vs the maximum would go down... translation: you can make more money IF HR agrees, but not for another 2 years. He is supposed to come back to me with an official counter-offer. I predict a 3% raise (maximum I can make right now). I have a chance to make 25% more at the other job... Time to pack my bags! Hey Starburst... get my Iron Man ready!  |
