<prompt> Human: For starters, I work in a small company that has grow over what, 400 in the last 2 years i think? And i am one of the factors that played into this as well as the rest of my team.About 2 months ago i applied to a bigger company for the same position, a little higher tier. More pay, but thats as far as i know. I dont remember if they have benefits and i cant say the work environment is better than here because Ive never worked there. Everyone was very pleasant and i got a long with everyone there.Anyways, one of my coworkers just started working for them this week i head about this place from her and she just texted me that they are still interested in me, and so far have not found a candidate that lives up to my experience and credentials and would really like me to come on board.She pretty much told me that the ball was in my court, i can ask for what I want and they would do their best to work with me.Only problem is i really like my position now, just got a raise although not as much as the offering company is offering me i get a long with my director very well as well as the owner. All my coworkers are pretty awesome.I just cant find a reason to leave other than money. And what if the position goes south? For whatever reason? Im also getting married in January and need something fairly stable and something i know can maintain me and my future wife.The position i am being offered pays almost double, if not more than what im making right now.TL;DR Got offered a position that pays at least double than what i make now. Getting married in January, not sure if to risk taking the new job and it going south or stay where I am at. Current posititon is great, love everyone and boss gave me a raise last week as well as our health insurance being fully paid and just switched to gold tier whatever that means but im sure its good. This is a very good problem to have andi am happy I have it now just need to make a decision.Assistant: Only you can decide how much the money matters to you. Remember that what you earn now also affects what youll earn in the future, since raises tend to be percentages of what you currently make. But, uhh, you need to figure out what the freakin benefits are. That makes a huge difference.Anyway, if you like your job, and are paid enough to meet all your goals... no reason to shake the boat, IMO.Human: what you earn now also affects what youll earn in the futureHow so?  <response>: Every year your raises are typically based on a percentage of your current earnings. 6 raise, take current pay x 1.06 new pay. If you make 30,000 6 is 1800. If you make 60,000 its 3600.
