<prompt> Human: Hello everyone. Looking for some advice here.Im 28, engaged, getting married this year, and buying a house hopefully closing next month. Last year I made about 105k 75k salary, 25k OT, 5k bonus. I enjoy my situation at the moment with my coworkers, company, and role.My boss and management made it clear that I am up for a promotion at the end of 2018 into a manager role. I talked with a few other managers in my department and was given a warning to be careful with my salary. The situation is, my salary would go up to about 85k but Id lose my OT and my bonus would stay about the same 5k. So overall, Id be losing out on about 15k worth of income. Im very concerned with my wedding expenses coming up and my mortgagetaxes which would double from my current rent.I have a few choices from what I can see.1. Decline the managerial role and stay in my current role this would out a damper on my career aspirations within the company.2. Start looking for external roles at the same level as I am now. Which would start my level all over again and would throw more chaos into this crazy year.3. Take the manager position and take a salary decrease.4. Take the manager role and start looking for external roles right away.Im leaving towards 4 but I honestly do enjoy working at my company and I would have to spend quite a bit energy looking for manager roles with no guarantee of finding one right away.Not really sure what to do and looking for any advice. Let me know if any more info is needed.Thanks!  <response>: An increase in responsibility and a decrease in pay is a demotion in disguise. Say no thanks. Ive made this mistake myself with a few companies.
