So, this starts off with me knowing something I shouldn't, and that is a coworker of mine is getting a raise. This is of course interesting to me because her workload and number of employees has decreased. Her employees are now mine and thus, my workload has increased. I haven't had my yearly review as of yet, so for all I know I could be getting a raise as well. This review should be occurring next week some time.
Now, the largest raise they can give me is 10%. However, there is a job opening in another area of finance where I would be making $10-15k more a year. I'm fully qualified for the job and get along fine with everyone across the street (as we refer to it). The potential raise here would not come near what I would get in the other position.
My problem is I kind of want to wait and find out what will happen here because this job is more convenient in a number of ways and while I get along with people over there, the particular department is full of people that I get along with, but don't really like all that much. I also would not be happy leaving some people here to deal with the aftermath. I'm sort of letting my concerns for them be a bit self-destructive.
Anyway, I just kind of wanted to type this all out because, well, I don't really know how to proceed at this point. Resume is polished, cover letter is written, and application is filled out. It's just a matter of submitting it all.
