I have been in my current position for 4 years. Its a mid management professional role. No pay rises or promotions in that time (pay freeze).
I have been contacted today by a recruitment consultant who has placed me in the past (not in current role). She is looking to fill a position in a very similar organisation to the one I work for - she sent me the job spec and it is very similar to my current role. The salary for the job she has been appointed to find candidates for is 15% more than my salary. Other terms and conditions are identical wrt hours/annual leave/pension etc.
I'd like to apply for the other job but I have a problem. Our sector is quite small and my line manager and the line manager in the new role are friends. The line manager in the new role knows me too - he was involved in the interview process for my current role although did not then and does not now work for my current organisation.
So if I apply, my current line manager will get to know about it. And if I am unsuccessful, well.....
If I decide not to apply for the new role, should I mention to my own line manager (appraisal coming up) that I know organisation X is recruiting for a post with v similar responsibilities to mine at 15% higher salary?
