<prompt> Human: Recently I was approached by a director in my company within another department. It was very informal but I know that this person thinks very highly of me, as does the director of the department that Im currently in. The gist of the conversation was that an opening was coming up in their department and that I should look into it.Im currently making 41k yearly and Im not exactly happy with my salary.I really feel loyal to the department that Im currently in but Im not sure if I should try to use this to negotiate a higher salary or if I should make the move and try to negotiate a higher salary in a new position. If I switch departments my current boss will definitely need to become aware of the switch and I recently past year was promoted to the position that I currently occupy. My current boss has indicated strongly that they would like to raise me to the next pay grade within my position within the coming year so Im really uncertain about making the lateral move. Any advice from anybody else in Corporate America would really be appreciated.  <response>: Negotiate. Loyalty is an illusion.
