Basically a recruiter reached out, hiring for a competitor at a more senior level (one level up from my current one). I have been asking for a title jump given the significant contributions i've made to the small team and firm, but to no avail (they just brushed it away).
The competitor gave me an offer with circa 40% more money, and the title jump. My current employer countered with a little less money, but its still a very decent bump plus the current company is just objectively better, so i took that counter.
So i'm wondering from your pov, is it ok to do that? Would it harm the relationship i have with my boss/managers (we have a really great relationship)? Would they be careful with me going forward? E.g. not allowing me to step away from my desk for a long period of time in the fear that I'd be taking interviews elsewhere etc.
As a gen Z, personally i think this is acceptable because a job is a job, and the job market is brutal, just as all these companies firing good people for 'cost cutting' reasons and whatnot. But keen to hear other gen's view.
