if you've just gotten a promotion, would you quit if you're offered a job at a better place?

Question

The pay is only a couple of hundred better at the new place, but I'll be back to square one being a 'normal employee' but at a very
'branded' company. If I stay with my current job, I'll be in a managerial position. Which one would you go for? I've made up my mind, but just wants to know what most other people would do....

Answer 1

No for 2 reasons. First it would be cheap and disloyal to scram after a promotion. Second, experience with managerial position will better your odds down the road.

Answer 2

I think I will really do a check on pro and con of the career prospect and the organisation of both the companies. No doubt being a managerial position is an attractive offer but sometimes opportunity don't come knocking twice. If we miss this chance, we may regret later if there isn't any better offer.
Looking from the long term propsect, I will likely to stay with the current employer and gain the relevant experience that is required for the management post before I move on in my career path

Answer 3

I would stay with the current company, but that is only if i like the people I'm working with in the current company. If the job scope of both positions are largely the same, I believe this is where the people count.
No amount of money is going to make me stay in a company full of people I can't get along with. It'll be like staying in hell.
If you work well with your present colleagues, then I agree with Vicki B. Stick to the present company, get the experience then move on to somewhere with better pay offer.

Answer 4

Hey There ☺ Yeah I would have to say that the letter u have written to your Dr. is a tad bit harsh lol but it sounds to me like u have every reason to be upset with her, U know how some Dr.s say to write a letter to yourself or to someone that hurt u in the past and then throw it away well maybe u should do that.I say that because I have heard of Dr.s messing with their patients and making it harder on them when they go to a new Dr so be careful. Also why do u have to tell her? I changed my Dr. who omg I think he had more severe problems than what I had at the time lol Anyways I didn't tell him I was leaving him and I said I needed a refill on my meds because I wouldn't be able to make in next time and I also asked my primary for a refill just until I found a new Dr.I found a new Dr and when I was asked why I left him I was honest with her and I told her he wasn't helping me at all .U have no obligations to tell her that is if u didn't sign a paper.But if u want to tell her I would re write that letter and rephrase it all even if it's the truth. I don't think u want that letter coming back and biting u in the butt know what I mean? good luck to you p.s i liked ur letter heheheheh lol

Answer 5

if you aint sure about your new job you would rather stick where you are, look for a better opportunity elsewhere so you can have a more respectable position. But if you see a very optimistic future in this new company i.e. being promoted soon to a higher post and pay, dont waste your time

Answer 6

I think you stick with your current company right now, get the managerial experience under your belt and then after few years see if you can take it to get higher paying job later.

Answer 7

nope! definately not.unless if you have 'problems' at work.

people who are already stable in their jobs only leave not because of monetary reason, they leave because of new challanges.
there are also people who just not fit for managerial position because they are 'soft'. their subordinates will be able to climb all over if they are not firm to be managers.

me personally will stay where i have been for the past many years. knowing your collegues and your bosses well enough can be a credit in your new roll.

take care and good luck in your decision.

Answer 8

It largely depends on individual's needs and wants....what I hope to achieve within the next 5 years... can I reach my goals with present or new company.

Monetary reward should go hand in hand with your position, responsibilites and risks.

Answer 9

I would stay if it meets my goals in the next 3 years...

Answer 10

you need to do a comparison then.
Pay. (new job still pays higher after your monthly expenses?)
Job Satisfaction.
Location.
Recognition (in workplace/effort u put in your work)
Bonus?
job scope.
work load?
