<prompt> Human: Like the title says, Im getting promoted from a manager level role to a director level or head of role at my company. SaaS company with an internal marketing agency where Ive spent most of my career. New role is leading all digital marketing strategy execution for both our agency managing managers who do client work as well as managing overall digital strategy for our company the software business as a whole. Some history:- I havent been in my current role that long, only about 1.5 years. Before that I was a digital specialist for the previous 3 years.- I am good at what I do and our VP of marketing and Head of the Agency are both in my corner pushing for this move.- Im youngish for this kind of role at 28 even though that shouldnt matter, it seems it doesThe offer:Their first offer was 86k. I currently make 73k, and was bumped up 16 to that 73 this past March. Prior to that, I made my requirements known as being high 90s - low 100s. Ive rejected the current offer as too low and am in waiting mode.The current avg. salary for this type of role in my area is 120k.The business need:We had two managers leave in the same week, leaving a ton of things needing to be done, Im being asked to do 2 distinct jobs with distinct responsibilities in this new role. Replacing them would be expensive.The problem:Our finance and HR leaders dont see the need to bump me up so much. They dont have the insight into the day to day and have said things like oh he was just bumped up and well give him the title and evaluate for the money in 6 months. Luckily my VP of marketing said that wouldnt fly. However Im not hopeful that finance will budge on this.For some reason they group all raises together so if they give me this apparently it means almost no one else can get raises. Im assuming, even if true, is a system to use as a scare tacticI understand this is a bit of a meteoric rise and they might not be prepared to accept that, but Im the best person for the job, and hiring someone off the street to backfill would cost the company 3x or more what theyd need to bump me up.Should I:Hold steady? If it doesnt go well worst case is likely I stay on and look for a new job immediately.Ask for other types of compensation? If so, whats possible here?Should also note this is probably the most leverage Ill ever have in my career due to me being the foremost expert in the company AND with the two managers leaving and them trying to not backfill to save money. They know they need me. Agency leader told me youre the guy, we have no plan B.tl;dr - have leverage, rejected first offer, not sure what to do if next offer sucks too.  <response>: Take the offer and immediately start job hunting?
