So I'm supposed to be hearing back tomorrow about whether I'm getting the other job. I think I'm going to have to decline it though. I'd be losing a 401K benefit, losing a toll road reimbursement benefit ($130 a month) and only getting a 50 cent raise. What say you guys?

Doesn't sound like much of a step up on its face... unless there's a lot more upward mobility that can be achieved with the new vs the old, then it's certainly something to consider. If not, then I wouldn't bother.

Oh yeah that's the other part. I've pretty much been told that as far as a lead position, there's about a 10% chance until someone decides to retire or leave. Most of their employees have been there for at least 10 years, some up to 22 (not counting owners). So.......

A good rule of thumb is don't accept an offer unless they're paying 120% or more than your current work. If this place is, paywise, an annual net loss of $520, and isn't matching your 401K, I'd decline with regrets.
