Deadite posted:Alright Ike, after reading this thread I decided to see what I'm worth since I feel like I might be underpaid in my job. I like my job, and it would take a lot to make me leave my job, but I figure it can't hurt to know what I'm worth. Be careful. Don't bring an offer for employment elsewhere to your current job unless you're willing to go there. There's always a chance your boss can say "gently caress you, go work there instead"

I work in tax public accounting and have all but been guaranteed a promotion come August and with it a 12ish% pay bump. (when the official promotions come out) but I decided to shop myself around and just received an offer for a industry job at a huge company doing essentially what I do in public, but just a lot fewer hours. It's also at the same level as my promoted position would be. The offer was verbal for a 30% raise above what I have now. If my current boss would match the offer I would totally stay in public. There's a decentish chance he might or might come close as we are understaffed, and I'm one of very few that is hybridized between two groups and I've bailed out a ton of scheduling conflicts because of my broad skillset. The new company wants a verbal acceptance of their verbal offer before they give me a written offer letter. But I want a written letter before I chat with my boss, and if I gave my word on the offer from newco, I would not want to go back on it. It's a small world and I like to think I'm an honorable person. Any thoughts?

Deadite posted:This exact thing happened to me earlier in the thread. I was told that not getting a letter is a huge red flag, and don't bring it up to your nose unless you are serious about leaving for the new job. Consider where you would be happier working before you say anything. I was just told five minutes ago that they'd give me a written offer tomorrow , they just wanted to get me the verbal today because HR took forever to get all the stuff approved. I'm kind of playing whisper down the lane because I'm using a head hunter. I'd be super happy either place and either place would give me an amazing challenging career. So I'm 100% being loyal to the dollar.

My current boss wasn't really willing/able to play ball since people at the same level pretty much all get the same salary since we bill out at the same rate. So I get where he's coming from, but I accepted the offer with the new company. 30% raise and trading half a year of 80+ hour weeks for only 4 weeks worth of that! So pumped!
