    Doesn’t hurt to check out your options. And almost any job will welcome you back (usually at your new pay rate) if you change your mind down the road.

    Over my career, lateral moves have netted me +80%, +30%, and 20%. Not to mention quality of work/life improvements.

    Most companies basically offer a < 5% raise every year, which is just around inflation. Maybe a 10% bump if you get promoted. The wider world values your skills much more.
