Current Company:
Salary: Around mid to low-mid tier
Boss (Direct): Very good to me
Boss (Above Direct Boss): Very biased and very self centered. Cannot be reasoned with and keeps making decisions that causes company to lose customers but yet very confident that her style will work.
Company: Medium but 3 years already no increment even though govt officials came and warned Big Boss to give increment since got staff complained to ministry. Bonus not confirmed.

Janji: Boss Direct said he wants me to take his place in the near future as he is planning to let me take over stuffs once I get the necessary education sponsorship from the company. Problem is, before this Boss came in there was already a Janji for me to sponsor my education up enough to reach the Boss Direct level but it was 2 years since that Janji and nothing happened.

Potential Hiring Company:
Salary: I asked for 30% increase from current (I have 9 years experience in the field and a lot of other works done) and during interview they did not say it was high.
Company: Very big, directly linked to China govt. Heard from friend who works there they have increment and bonus every year.

Now the thing is, after I jokingly say I wanna leave the current company my Boss Direct keeps bugging me and trying to counsel me not to leave, giving me all those Janji manis all over again. I don't feel right anymore but I don't know how to tell him I don't buy it since he can't call the shots in the whole company anyhow.

Which one is a better choice?

Always keep your plans close to you, tell only trusted people, def not your boss

Execute the plan only once you are 100% sure

Actually it wasn't a plan. I was just jokingly saying it and he thought it was real. Then the interview came.

You work for yourself. 30,% is giood increase. The extra money will be useful later in life. Nothing is permanent

First of all, potential hiring Company got give you offer letter in hand or not?

Not yet but I am just asking if they give, should I take or not?

haarrr...not yet...gg.com lor.

When they give check all terms and condition clearly. Deliberate within yourself whether which is good and future development too.

In the end 30% increase is still good to move forward. Challenge yourself.

I'll leave immediately and never look back

30% increase vs no increments after 3 years? It's no brainer at all. Just take that 30% increase.

Even if there might be increment in the current company but looking at the pattern of the company as you described, it might take another 5 years to reach that 30% salary increase, which you will get instantly if you take the new offer.

That's what they always do - overpromise but never deliver. Most times it comes in the form of promising you higher salary pay or salary increment. In the end the increment is very minimal. If I were you, if you find better offer, just go

30% increase...
Don't need to think about it...
Loyalty is not important nowadays....

When we start to move others places...
Then all the moon sky high promise would fall down our lap.... Before this... Nothing...
