I entered the work force a little under 2 years ago for my current employer a massive company with 20k+ employees globally. I started out at 35k with no bonus, and I just recently got my 3rd promotion. I'm now at 60k with a 10% yearly bonus. My first boss (who gave me 2 promotions) left about 6 months ago to go to a new company, smaller start up, maybe 40ish employees. About three weeks ago I got an email from him saying they have an analyst position opening at his current job and asked if I'd be interested. Sent them my cover letter/resume and then had a phone interview a few days later. A week after the phone interview, I had a video conference interview and then last week I had a face to face interview in NY. Today I received an official job offer and the salary increase is pretty substantial.
Offer is 90k base salary with a 10k yearly bonus. I'd have 3 months training in NY, then would be back in Nashville (where I live at the moment) where I would be working full time for a client.
The thing is, I really like what I'm doing now, and the current company seems to see value in my work. I regularly work with the VP and CIO, just last month I put together all of the data and talking points for our company wide townhall, and got my 3rd promotion shortly after. I have not told my current boss that I was talking to other companies, or even expressed much discontent with my role. I'm genuinely happy here and get to have regular meetings with Sr. Leadership. Earlier today the VP I essentially report up to told me "he'd be lost without me". But 30k is a lot of money to me at the moment.
The idea of moving to a new, smallish up and coming company is exciting, but much more job security here, my current company isn't going anywhere. Wife is pregnant with 2nd kid and we close on the new house we are building on the 10th.
Ideally, I could pitch this to my current boss and see if she can get me a similar match to stay where I'm at. Has anyone successfully pulled this off?
I know to most of the FBG here that we're talking paltry sums here, and I know 30k a year isn't exactly life changing.
I guess I'm not sure what the real question here is anyhow... a lot is going on that I didn't expect or anticipate and just looking for general advice.
