Got headhunted internally at work to move roles. Told today it's mine if I want it. Don't know salary yet but know it pays a bonus which i don't have already so theres that but expect base salary to be more.
I am risk averse type of person though, so this is stressing me out. I've been told by my boss he wants to keep me so might be a counter offer anyway so either way I can't lose.
Pros:
More money
No more direct reports (sounds f..king great but will this affect my development?)
Change of scenery (been at the same location for near 19 years) - might not get another chance to move.
Cons:
Different job
Challenge is good, embrace change.
There were a few annoyed people when I got my promotion, it wasn't advertised and I went from being 2IC in one department to managing 2.5 departments that merged together.
I had to walk on egg shells for a few weeks and earn the trust and support of who used to be my peers, loving it now, everyone is working well as a team and it seems as though the cancer of the office is leaving us.
