Dilemma whether to move to new job,need advice

[hellflame]

Hi People,

I'm a rm in insurance industry. Last year i got a 10% increment when i was promoted from an executive to manager.

i'm a diploma holder ,age 31. Coming march i will be having my bonus inaddition to my yearly increment of between 3-4%.

2 weeks ago i went for an interview and got offered. a 9% increase plus i could have some exposure as well. But if i include my yearly increment,it will be about 5 to 6% increase

Should i still make the jump?

jump for what. u wanna specialize what you are currently doing or do something else in the name of "exposure"?

Hi bro,

My current position is more of a proccesor job.

The other company will enable me to acquire certain skill

How many mths bonus u expecting to get at current firm? U planning to forgo it if you accept the new job?

9% for coy change is too little. negotiate for more.

so did u jump or no jump?

Insurance rm sounds like need to sell products?
Commission based?

9% is too low for change in company.

Don't forget that you are taking a risk on non-monetary aspects (eg. Company culture, new colleagues/boss, etc).

So, if you are going to change company, at least try to ask for a 15% to 20% increment.

Otherwise, if it turns out you hate the new company/colleagues/boss then all you get in return is 9% and a lot of unhappiness.
