This happens all the time. Competitors see and track valuable employees at companies in their same industry. Talk to your manager about getting the... offer. See where that leads. But be prepared of your manager forces you to make a decision on the spot. more

I am somewhat in the same situation. I feel such loyalty, but I am not going anywhere in my current job I believe. I'm somewhat afraid to leave them... just because of the loyalty I have more

I guess depends how much better and you have leverage. If you like where you are besides your manager then tell your manager you have an offer its... hard to refuse. The best leader is sitting in front of you ..ask advice do you think upper management could match or beat it. Cost of living is climbing this is pure economics .. if he says nope, then loyalty isn't reciprocal . You didnt make it personal and thats what your manager knows or is told. Then you have your notice typed and printed. Submit and tell your boss on last day. Also say that you'll be giving them your info on a lateral or better position as you think he deserves better pay too. Then send linkedin or gainrep to have him recommend you. If you wait too long hell forget your parting sentiment ...and you want to capture his personal lament it'll promote a great recco.

Nop, you can accept the new offer and resign from your previous role

Do companies show loyalty when they issue pink slips? No. They do it to satisfy the stockholders. Look out for your career. Move up the food chain. If... you don’t someone else will take the opportunity you were given. more

I would contact HR before accepting any offers. Did you sign a non-compete? A lot of companies have these clauses tucked away in their hiring... paperwork. You don't want to switch jobs then find out something is preventing you from working. Also, check your state laws. Understand you may be blocked from your old employer and their partners by doing this. Stay blessed! Congrats on your new offer.  more

Great go a head and take new job but maintain the friendship.

Loyalty is a good reason to, say, give your manager a heads-up, offer a real transition, or decline to badmouth them on the way out. It's a much... shakier reason to turn down a genuinely better opportunity for your own life and career — because the asymmetry is real: your manager will be fine, the company will be fine, and you're the one who has to live inside the decision for years and the other thing you should know is that your boss is not your friend, your with them because you get their work done. we all need carreer growth and developement. So move on.

Don’t just follow the money. Look at a bigger picture. The relationship you describe with your current boss sounds like great mental health to me. So... I’d say look beyond money and you’ll know if it’s worth the risk.  more

Loyalty is great but you have to look out for you first. Or you can propose an idea of a higher pay at your current job especially if your... competitors are willing to give you more pay than them now. more
