Leave for another company that’ll pay 85K for the same work

Lol f*** that find a job that will appreciate your work more

if you dont mind tho could you mention how much you make now? just wondering how big of a bonus the 20k is

edit:
read the whole thread, id stay tbh if my base was 68k and they offered me 20k more (assuming 20 annually, not 10k a year). Thats a bonus almost 1/3 of your salary, which is really f***ing good, even tho it's not the biggest money in the world, it will make a difference

oh f*** that. leave if you have options of going somewhere else and getting similar pay

i'd probably tell em to kick rocks but idk how your field looks when it comes to job hopping.

but if you told them you're leaving and they gave this to you as a counter-offer, then yeah you pretty much gotta commit to heading out. that's a trap, they'll pay you that much so they can buy time and find someone who'll get paid what you used to for the purpose of replacing you. if you were worth that much to them, they would've been paying you that IMO.

how do you work that much and still post regularly on here lol

i stayed at a job i hated for 4 years until i punched a coworker (best decision of my life)

There’s lot of downtime waiting for reponses

sounds like a good job then

Nah down time is bad cause it pushes things until the evenings/weekends

20k lol..

Depends on what’s available to you tbh

Wait you can get a different job by June that’ll bump you 10-20k? Seems like that’s the no brainer option

thats nothing if you have to stay two more years lol.

No

Time > Money

F*** no lmao. That s*** is a nice bump in the short term, but it's not worth it.

Damn, I can't imagine how ass the place must be that you can easily move past 75k.

For sure do it then.

The upfront of atleast 11k after tax would be pretty tempting for paying off debt from engagement ring/student loans rn

Yes it’s 20k gross upfront but bonuses are taxed very heavily so more like 11-13k

Congrats on the engagement

Those are serious financial concerns so I feel you more now but even without knowing everything else you got going on I still think you should consider leaving because 20 months being at a job that you don't like/is impacting your mental health/general happiness being engaged sounds very difficult to handle and potentially damaging

Yea I think the move is to apply constantly to places and see my offers. No point in waiting since I might be able to secure something without the 2 year commitment

Yeah, at the very least you should have options so that sounds like a good plan

I wish you the best and hope that you can find something better in all possible ways soon

obviously, im not rich

Thank you

Nope
My TA at my old job was extremely rude and it boiled over the last day at my job
Got a job offer the same day that happened for more money the old job had PTO for holidays but f*** that
