So wait, are you a coder now or aren't you? You say you want to stay a coder for 2 more years, then become of a "lead/project manager", but your first sentence says you're already a project lead basically? I would say that the 2k jump doesn't sound worth it if you're happy with your current employer.

Politics are everywhere you go. I don't care if it's Fortune 500 or mom and pop shop. And if you plan to stay/go into management... prepare for a whole big helping of them (as I'm sure you already know).

Take the promotion. You can still assist in projects by budgeting your time wisely.
