The new position will ultimately pay 17k more over the current one, once I top out. But that will take 4 years to get there.
And yes, I know for a fact the new manager does not and will not micro manage.

Depends on your age and current situation tb. Sometimes the bigger the risk the bigger the reward. Just from a high level, it seems like leaving would guarantee a higher net gain all else being the same. Burning bridges aside, you gotta look at what you value more. Bad work environment + less money + not burn bridges + regular raises or Potentially better work environment + more money + burn bridges + nice raise right off the bat.
Put that way, it actually looks good to just switch brah. But then again, I'm not sure how old you as your career moves early can make huge waves down the line (sometimes in a great way, sometimes not).

I have a bit of a dilemma and I'm looking for advice for you fine gentlemen.
I've been offered a new position at my place of work, however, the pay raise that comes with it falls short of what I was hoping for. Essentially, I'm getting a 10% increase over what I make now, but I was hoping for a 17% raise.
The 17% raise would have put me right in the middle of that job's pay scale. The 10% increase puts me a little past the start of the job's pay scale.
The thing is, I can only get a 5% raise per year at the place I work at. No more. No less. So I can't ask for more money next year. And that increase is pretty much guaranteed unless you're retarded.
Also, the job is literally identical to what I do now. The only difference is the title, which goes from 'project manager' to 'engineer'. Responsibilities are identical, just a different department, but because they have the word "engineer" is in the title, they were able to classify it at a higher pay grade.
My current job is good. I like the people I work with, I like what I do, the only downside is that my boss currently micro manages the shit out of me and the rest of us. It's just his nature. But here's the kicker- our department is doubling in size so with the number of people (6 total, plus the boss), and the number of projects, he simply won't be able to micro manage anymore and he even said it himself. So There's a chance the work environment might get even better.
I have no idea how my new boss would be. I hear she doesn't micro manage at all which is a great thing, however, she doesn't fuck around and is always straight to the point. Not sure if that will end up working out well in the long run.
Long story short, what would you guys do? Stay or go?

All AZ members get an obligatory 10% discount.
For Justin, I can just put some cartoons on for the remaining 14 minutes.
For Miz, I offer a special "slow release" method. Takes a little longer but the effects are much more satisfying.
For J, I suggest the "angry trumpeter" treatment. I think that's exactly what he needs.
Yes, additional 10% discount if you bring your own towels. Or blankets.

They always say the grass isn't greener on the other side. 
But your going to be under a women manager..
Get under her desk bro.
I don't know how private sector is,(always been goveronment) but I'm guessing you won't have return rights if you left your current position?

Nothing crazy. Nice dinner out tonight with the Mrs., semi-nice dinner out with the Mrs. And friends tomorrow, and other than that just installing flooring. So much fun.
Clarification: it's not even my flooring. Helping a friend out. Yay.
