It's dependant on your read. What did they think of you over the last few years. What is your review/promotion history like. What are the reasons you were leaving.

Generally, I'd be leery of changing course after I'd already made a reasoned decision to eject.

The main reason I'm leaving is because the firm is very top heavy and it will take much longer for me to get into management. In my 2+ years there plus intern while in school, I have received a few raises and a bonus, but no promotions. They've been pleased with my work, and I have done a good job meeting deadlines and such.

The firm I'm looking to join is new in the area but established elsewhere. I will be the first structural engineer on board in the new office and I imagine I would be a project manager in about 2 years if I perform.

I seriously doubt I will change my decision to leave. However, I don't know what their plan is tomorrow...and a proper promotion and salary upgrade could possibly tip the scales.
