Go to the new job please. No time . My reasons are below: 1. Raising her salary from 430k to 850k,which is 50% pay rise means the person had been grossly underpaid for long,undervalued and less appreciated in the old firm. 2. If they increase the salary, what about the other benefits that comes with new job? Would they be increased as well? 3. Even if we often hear that salary is confidential,most often, it is not. The colleagues will get to know about the increase and such could cause tension and animosity in the work place. People know people salary, no matter how confidential. Is only a matter of time, afterall it is human being that works in your salary unit and they have friends. 4.Move to the new place to get new exposure and also career boost.It is a plus for you than staying in one place doing the same monotonous role because of money. Money alone should not be the determinant here. Your happiness matters too. 5. If by tomorrow, another company offers 1m monthly, is the old company willing to pay the money? 6.If there is job satisfaction, would the person be looking else where in the first instance? 7. Minus the salary, there could other reasons why the employee is seeking a greener pasture, have they been looked into? It could be relationship with boss, colleagues, when staff feedback are not taken for crucial decision making,rigid organisational process, and other matters that could be of concern. 8. What if he is a manager in the old job, and the new job is offering him a senior manager, so he should leave the new role and remain with the old role,when the new role will usher him into a senior strategic position in the firm. 9.The change of environment is good for his career profile,he will definitely learn some new things in the new place, as new roles comes with its own challenges,lessons,and also gains as well. 10.Finally, is going to make new friends,contacts,learn new tricks on the job and also have a vast experience, which money cannot buy. This will make the employee a dynamic asset,instead of staying behind because of money. With time,he will look back and know he made the right decision to leave. Avoid fear of the unknown, face your fear and conquer it. So that It not limited to aforementioned points above,to me the new job is the way to go, from there, he will apply for something bigger. 3 Likes |

martyns303: Your point point is defending the current company and bad mouthing the new that they will not appreciate her pls be critical in opinion. The company didn't promote her to about 650 but suddenly match the exact new payment something isn't right. The new company is giving her an entry level of what the current is chasing to retain. But all you said about the new company is evil prejudice and a negative one for that matter. It's too early to address sadist 1 Like |

what I will do if I'm the CEO of the company you working for I will promise to pay you 850k but I won't pay it twice This is Nigeria you can always get someone better for the job for half d price aunty no work outside. So imma keep you and start a hunt for your replacement I can't just let you go like that. Masters degree, 1st class with 20 years experience with 500k monthly salary you go fear turn up on interview date... If they increased it from 480k to 550k or 580 k then stay That matching increase is a trap. 1 Like |

Wow...... I pity the lady. I will advice her to leave for the new job. The approve increasement is a scam becos they will be doing things that she will not take any more that can lead to Job threaten that will make her to resign or get sacked by the company. |

she should weigh her options. check the new environment, challenges and opportunities. check the network and other benefits aside the pay. that would help her in making decisions. |

She should not allow anybody to deceive her. She should go to the new company, the old company might keep her to get a replacement. The new company is paying because cause they can afford to, the old one is trying to stop the bleeding. Always remember that when you work the in private sector that you are a mercenary, not a soldier, they can do away with you at any time. Aside from this, she should not rush and check the two options and she should be aware of the risks involved in staying Bigval5: |

martyns303: I'm afraid, you've made arguments that are so faulty. 1. When did her current company realise her "value". When she indicated to go? Does this indicate they appreciate her or just want to use her? 2. Who told you it will show commitment and indebtedness. This is living in fools paradise. If a company can pay as low as less than 50% of what competition is offering, then such company was taking undue advantage up till that time. I know for a fact that organisation periodically benchmark staff pay with industry standards. When last did this company do this? 3. The new company will not value her much you claim, yet they offer more than double her current pay? You argument here makes no sense. Naturally they will expect here to work harder, because they saw the potential when they interviewed her. 4. Have you asked yourself if you want her to progress or retrogress. Why should she stay in a place that placed her below are true value? What even tells you 850k is are true worth. What if she deserves more yet can only get 850k because 350k was the reference figure The OP has to make choices. Even though remuneration is not the only yardstick in determining a move, when a company offers to match what competition is offering, more than often it is a trap. If you fall for it, you have traded away your ability to negotiate. Even if the OP wants to stay, try negotiate upwards with your current company both in salary and position. If they don't give you both, then you should indeed move. It simply tells you it is not about your value they are thinking about, it is about the cost of replacing you (hiring someone at higher cost - position and salary) 2 Likes |

rottennaija: ..doing little. Most of the time, people like that get paid for their credentials. Whoever is earning that much must have spent so much on certifications, foreign degree, professional courses, etc. If you spend around 10-15m to acquire a foreign certification/degree, 800k salary wouldn't be a big deal. 2 Likes |

Akexstinger: The moment you get another job and give notice of resignation, you have already put yourself in the market. At that point your value has appreciated higher than your current salary, higher than your new salary. If your company is renegotiating with you, they are getting into your head, denying you of seeing your new value. |
