Hmm you might get promoted quicker at the new company if the current company is more prestigious. Sure, it'd be lateral now, but it could get you up the ladder faster.

In fact, I'd express that in your interview that you're okay with lateral for now as long as I can move up the ladder. Companies like people who are motivated to move up.

Idk man, I'm with everyone else, all signs point to you at least going to interview for the new gig. It sounds more promising.

Think of this: in a year, you don't want regret being stuck in the same position with maybe a 2% cost of living increase of pay when you could be a manager at the next company already making 30% more with potential to make more if you get promoted.

very good point

im leaning very hard towards the "take the job" camp if everything at this new position looks promising.

Definitely man. That same scenario actually happened to a buddy of mine. He worked at a huge Fortune 500 firm and made a lateral move but more pay to a no-name firm, and now he's senior level management in less than a year of being there.

Good luck! Wishing for the best!
