<prompt> Human: Im in tech, got an offer that is decently higher than my current salary by 22. What should I consider before making this decision? The new opportunity sounds more interesting, but Id be giving up the work relationships Ive made.  <response>: Even if your boss made you a solid counteroffer to match the new pay, Id still say take the new job. BUT: he hasnt even done that. Hes made a vague offer of another job with no promise to increase your pay. Additionally, your new job sounds more interesting.Go take the new job. This is simple. Your company does not have a monopoly on nice people to work with. If you really like them, just keep getting lunch with them. 85 of the time you spend with coworkers is getting lunch anyway, so not much is going to change.
