<prompt> Human: About 2 weeks ago I applied for a new position within my company. I was soft offered the job today. Basically they told me I had to talk it out with my current boss but the job was mine after that. The new job is with the same company and same division, just a different dept which was the reason I had to talk to my current boss about the potential move.The new job comes with a significant raise. I went and talked to my boss about it today and was told if more money was what I wanted, he could work to get me where I wanted because I was integral to the team and he did not want to see me go. I take this to mean he would offer me whatever the other department was offering of I would stay. And being that this would be a move within the same company and division, I really dont think its one of those well pay you more to stay until we find someone to replace you kind of situations.I like my current job, I like what I do, I like my boss, and I work with a good team. I applied for the new position because it was a good bit more money, similar work, company culture would be the same very good, and I know that team as well and enjoy working with them too. It basically just felt like more money career progression.If the pay were the same I honestly dont have a preference over my current position and the new one because the work is so similar and I like both teams, but if my boss offers me more money and I flip flop now that I already said I was interested, I just feel like I an playing the 2 against each other which I dont want to do.In the end I know this is just a judgement call I have to make for myself, but has anyone been in a similar situation and have any advice to offer?  <response>: If you decide to stay, bear in mind you will likely be expected to perform at a higher level since youll be paid more.
