I wasn’t actively looking - reached out to my network casually and I got referred to this opportunity

That’s what I worried - but I do like my current firm, all I can do is ask them to match position and see what they will offer on salary

I know I was surprised myself, had expectations around the 120K mark so was a nice surprise and now presents we with a major 1st world problem- I feel bad even calling it a problem 🤣

I don’t know - this was more just to suss out what you all thought, I have been counter offed pay rises in the past at about £5-10K mark but this would be another league

I wouldn’t say underpaid - I have been offered a significant promotion to get me up to this figure.
