I do not disagree. At the same time, I'm a bit pissed on being denied a promotion after being promised one. That's why I started exploring outside opportunities. I will leave only if the offer is really good. Hence, the original question: what is a really good offer considering my current base and overall experience? 40%-50% is a toughie...I was thinking more around 33%, say $170k base. Is that a possibility?
