[QUOTE="black4vcobra, post: 15540151, member: 82394"] Thanks for the replies guys. SVTP was down last night so I couldn't get any responses back. At face value the offer is not worth moving for. Had I had more experience in transmission line design I would have been offered a position as an engineer 3 and would have been looking at a $15k+ bump. That would have been one of those can't refuse offers. They said it probably wouldn't take more than a couple of years to get that promotion. It might be quite a while before I get there with the current company. On the other hand, I do like being appreciated by my boss, coworkers and clients. As a member of a much larger organization I don't think that would be the case. I do have a lot of flexibility at work. I don't abuse it like some of my coworkers but our boss doesn't care if we need to run an errand, get a haircut or goto the dentist during working hours. My boss has lost 4-5 employees to larger engineering firms in the last 10 years. One guy walked in asking for a significant raise and the boss said he can't go that high at the time so the employee handed him his 2 week notice. Had my boss known that was coming he would have given him the raise. Given that, I believe I should be able to ask for a reasonable raise without him telling me to take a hike. I'll have to talk it out with my fiancée, parents and another buddy who is in the industry. I do appreciate the input here though, it's a tricky spot to be in as the upside is down a ways down road. It was good experience though, knowing I have a job made the interview very calm and easy. If I were to counter offer, should I say I need $80k? I know the salaries probably seem a little low but the Midwest actually has the lowest cost of living, and therefore the lowest salaries, of any part of the country. [/QUOTE]
