I would, but that’s me and my current job. If you’re cool and valued where I am, they will take you back, even if it’s only been 6 mos to a year. Seen it numerous times. They would rather go with a sure thing than an unknown.

If you’re making $30k now and will be making $54k, we’ll that’s a no brained
If you’re making $130k now and will be making $154k… maybe look at other factors at play before jumping ship

Yes. Retire a couple years earlier

If I were in a spot where I loved my job, I’d use it as leverage and see what I could get out of the current situation. Caveat to that is there’s going to be a more critical eye on you until you prove you’re actually worth it. So can you handle that pressure?
If you don’t want to deal with that, it’s pretty simple decision. Take the money.

Depends on your filing status. Single you are looking at 2% increase in taxable income. And im guessing you can just stay living where you are.
Married would depend on how much your spouse makes currently and if your extra income would move yall up a tax bracket.
For example, if your wife made less than $12k a year, your extra income would give you a 10% increase in taxable income.
If she makes between 12k-79k your taxable income wont change.
I would do it.

Turning down a $24k increase would almost be criminal... If you're even contemplating it, you need to tell us what the frick you currently do to justify

Too much info missing. Change roles and stay in my current city? Yeah, 24k for a few extra hours a week is fine.
Not enough to relocate with the family though.

I get 6 weeks of PTO a year, most offers I have had have started with two weeks per year.
I always say the same thing..."I work to live, not live to work and I don't know exactly the value of a week of PTO I know, for me, it's a a minimum of $10k per week. This is where I am at now so anything less than $40k on top of that is not even negotiable".

This is hugely underrated. I was pretty much in the same position as you and I took the money and it was a disaster. Went from liking almost all of my coworkers and enjoying my job to hating everyone I worked with and working way more hours than they implied during the interview process. Enjoying your coworkers is a HUGE deal and it’s very rare in today’s society.
It would be hard for me to turn down a 68 to 92 raise but if you don’t care about money I’d really ask a lot of questions about their culture and your job expectations before you move.

Represents a fairly significant life change... do it.

If you are currently making $50,000 then $24,000 is a big jump, if you are making $200,000 then a $24,000 bump isn’t that much.

Who cares if you like the current people you work with? They can come and go. For only being 3 miles apart why the hell wouldn't you take it? Only thing is how much longer are the hours - so how many more hours in a week total would you work? Money definitely isn't everything if it starts to mess with your work/life balance.

Kudos to you for posting this data point.
If you were recruited you have more leverage but if simply applying to a job listing, you have competition. The later means you'll need to move fast.
Make a five year plan even if just a mental one for now, and the end point of that will help you decide.
Income / revenue is hard to acquire. But if your goal is simply to buy more stuff then stay where you are.
If on the other hand you'll invest half the new salary over a 30 year time horizon, make the move. The time value of money is something not to be overlooked.
Really want to stay where you are? Ask for half the new offer they'll probably match. Be aware that if I'm paying you more I'll need more out of you in return.
Sometimes you have to move out to move up and generally in my 45 year career I never turned down significant salary bumps. I gave the same advice to young engineers working for me and some left with no hard feelings on my side at all.
My advice would be to take the new job.
Good luck.

i've switched for less

It depends. I took exactly $24k LESS a few years ago to escape misery. They ended up keeping me whole with a bonus, but that was a risk. I was significantly happier.
I have also seen where some companies won't adjust your pay unless you quit, so it may be your only avenue.
Good luck!

I’d be asking why one company is willing to pay me so much more to do the same thing
