Hello All!

I also posted this to r/career

Little background. I am in the IT space. Currently, I am a one man team for a local company. Probably paid a a bit under market for what I do.

Recently, I was contacted by another local business on LinkedIn. Same industry I work in currently. They have had a position open for 2 months. They wanted to see if I would be interested in applying and interviewing for said position. Even though I am fairly happy where I am at, I am hearing them out. I have an interview later this week.

This position would be a lateral move by title. Probably lateral/downward move by responsibility. It would also be a bump in pay, potentially up to 30% pay raise. This other company has an IT team of 3 or 4 based on research and what HR told me.

If they extend an offer after my interview this week, I expect that I will be in a great position to negotiate compensation since they are apparently having issues finding quality candidates.

Ultimately, my question is, how do I handle quitting my current job. My currently company is great. I report directly to my CEO. They are extremely flexible. Have a doctor's appointment, go ahead and leave and come back. No need to use PTO. Need to work from home, go do it. Want to take PTO time, just put it on the calendar, no approval needed.

On one hand, I want to give my current employer the chance to match the offer. The other hand, will they feel I owe more productivity because of the significant pay bump and grow to resent it.

The other thought is just resigning without giving a chance to match. Because I am a team of one, and I care for the others on the admin team, I don't want to just leave them high and dry on a two week notice. I was thinking to give maybe a 1 month notice, Try to get a new hire in and oriented to the company and try to get them up to speed.

What are your thoughts?

I've got a an older popup and I want to make a modification to the propane system but want some input from people potentially smarter than I.

Currently, it is set up to go from the tank to a high pressure regulator. From there, I have a T. One side goes to the outside connection for the factory outdoor high pressure stove. The other side goes to a 2 stage low pressure regulator that feeds the indoor stove and 3 way fridge.

What I want to do is take out the high pressure regulator. Go directly to a T and split it off between the indoor stove and outdoor connection. I would then split the outdoor port between the factory stove with repurposed regulator and a small Blackstone griddle with its own regulator.

Biggest thing is would that 2 stage regulator be able to handle tank pressure and regulate it or is it relying on the step down from the other regulator? Any other issues to consider? Or is this a bad idea?
