Maybe the better question to ask your self would be: What are my goals and how to achieve them? It would be a lot easier to answer your initial question, if you have answered these before. From a pure financial perspective, it seems like more money is always better... but earning more money will probably cost you something. You have to work harder or do something you might not like as much as your current work. Maybe you have to move or can't work remotely, having less "company" benefits or sitting in an ugly office staring at a wall. Clearly, there are jobs, that offer you everything you want, but you have to find out, what this is. What I have learned is, that most of the things I mentioned are minor details. Most important to me is who I'm working with (the team) and what I can learn from them. If you work with great people, money does not matter as much. What I also learned is, that confidence is a big bonus if you are trying to get more money - it's not always about skill. You have to do marketing for yourself and feeling uncomfortable with what you earn is a counterpoint. It can take years to find out, what your work is worth (in your region, at this moment, etc.), because the situation is changing all the time. Take opportunities, if you can, but if your happy where you are, try to stay. Most of the time the happiness state will change rapidly after 5 or more years in the same company, but not always :-)
