I have an interview tomorrow for a new job. I've been at my current company for nearly 13 years, so I have a lot of experience there.
A few months ago I was feeling a bit fed up with not really progressing, even though I have a lot of knowledge, I'm good with processes etc, so I applied for a job at another company. I was offered an interview, but then Covid came along and my interview was postponed.
Last week I got an email inviting me to a Skype interview, which is tomorrow. Since I applied, I'm feeling more settled and content at my current job, especially since I've been given more responsibility for the time being. But I thought I might as well do the interview and see how I got on.
I know someone at the new company (who encouraged me to apply in the first place), I spoke to him about it today and he told me that I'd likely get offered a figure that's around double what I'm on now. It seems they offer pay based on experience, rather than just a standard salary for the role.
That sounds amazing, but in all honesty, I'm unsure about leaving my current job. I've been there for so long, I know what I'm doing there, and I have a lot of friends that I'd be leaving behind. If I do get offered the job with such a huge pay increase, I'd be mad to turn it down, right? Maybe I'm just scared. Has anyone been in this position and can offer some advice or tell me what happened with them?
