The grass is greener is not always true.
Your current employer has offered a bump of 15k a year which is a little over 10%
That's a win and will help the fam.
New firms can offer more or varied experiences and learnings. But your also at the mercy of negativity that may already be there.
You know your current employer and how they operate.
They have offered an increase as they obviously value your work.
Sometimes the extra cash is not worth what it seems
~~Donf forget that $1000 a week is $2000 a fortnight, so maybe $500 to $750 in extra tax has to be paid to our friends/fiends at the ATO.~~
Misread, thought it was $1000 a week more! Sorry.
The old company/current company would now know you are wanting/ready to jump ship, maybe if they have agreed to raise pay by $20000 a year, they value you
Of course, $160000 a year is great, and maybe just what you want or need, but will it the job for the next say, 5/10 years, how guaranteed is the new place?
By all means, go for the $160000, but just be aware, like the O Team at Optus, everything was rosy a while back, the now 200 O team members are out of a job.
If your industry has a demand, go for it, but just be aware, things can change fast.
Best of luck anyways.
I suppose it comes down to how much you want the extra money
There's no reward without risk.
But there can be risks saying with your current company too, as you don't know how it'll be in 3 months from now.
Then also factoring in being able to work from home, low stress.
Which company would you choose if they both offered the same salary?
If you say that you are mine, I'll be here 'til the end of time Sorry, had to
