<prompt> Human: Currently making 90k at an well-established company been here for 5 years. Got an offer for 115 at a startup not yet profitable but fairly established.Im currently working 40 hours a week at a pretty stress-free job. The new startup claims employees can average 50-60 hours per week, and can be stressful at times.My current employer has said they plan to promote me with a raise, but its been 2 months since they said this.A raise would be nice, but I dont want to lose my sanity in the process. Id love to stay at my current jo , but 25k is too much to pass up. Id really just like a raise of 10-15k to with my current employer. Does it look bad to ask my employer for a raise? Or is this new offer worth it, given more hires and higher stress?  <response>: I wouldnt underestimate stress. Also if pay is the only factor for switching rather than say interest in the new job then I think it may not be worth it. The extra money is great but also at what cost? Health? Burn out? At this point sounds like u value the stress free life since u are hesitating st the promotion. Are u going to be working on cutting edge stuff that can lead to other doors if that start up shuts down or is it doing the same stuff... I think talking to your boss is fine but dun bring up the figure but just let them know there is a very attractive offer but u want to know what to company has planned for you since they made an offer earlier
