Job Dilemma

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.

Take care of you and yours.  if the people you're leaving behind are friends, they'll be happy for you.  If they're not friends, you'll find out soon enough.
