Ascend to the BOSS LEVEL!!!
Otherwise, why’d you play the game, man?

That's where I am.
When they spoke of the salary I actually told the HR lady to "Shut up!"
And then laughed. And maybe wee'd a little in my pants.

I want to do it, just for the power and authority and a bigger office and a new toupee.
But I also like the slower, simpler life.
I had my excitement and drama with my old company (US Army) a few years ago. I like things slow and mellow.
But I also like a challenge.
Ultimately, I will probably do what my wife wants since she is WAY smarter than me.
It sounds like you should do it, depending on how many years you have left. How many?

I talked at great length with my boss today.
He stated in engineering terms. . .
When the money does not compensate for the stress level, then it's not worth it.
We even made graphs.
We're geeks.
But he said if it was up to him, he'd want me to do it because I'd have his back. He's a vet and we go back a ways.
Also, the evil company-takeover would promote him even higher than me and I think he's freaking out a bit and wants me there to take care of things when he freaks out.

Ahhh, hopes of partners in crime, I see
Edit: this could end very badly for your Gunther and his Gunther.

Would this new job give you more opportunity for creativity and implementing your own ideas?
If so...that can be even more personally rewarding than the higher salary.
