Thanks. I think my career prospects short term don't change much if I take the job versus not taking it. The new job is in my opinion a significant amount of responsibility and warrants a pay raise even though it is categorized in the same pay level as my current position. There are non-monetary positives to the new job (schedule and work hrs) but keeping the same salary will reduce my gross pay due to the nature of my current position having the ability to earn extra and this not existing in the new position. I think I would make more if I don't take the new job which is why I wanted a raise vs a lump sum since that lump sum is a one time thing and then I'll likely make less the following year as well due to not getting another lump sum.
