<prompt> Human: I recently was offered a new position with a company willing to pay 25 more than I currently make. I am by no means currently underpaid, but I was recruited for this position and I am currently weighing all the options. If my company I currently work for would match, or counteroffer, I would gladly stay. The problem is that I have been with my company for less than a year, so I feel uncomfortable asking for a raise currently. I am fairly confident they will counteroffer if I resign, but I am not sure I want to risk that yet. How can I go about the conversation of a raise so I can use the offer as leverage if necessary, but not make my company think Im a flight risk?  <response>: So its a higher level pos, and 25 increase in pay, so when do you start with the new company?
