Counter Offer's

You've accepted a new job but your current employer comes back with a counter offer. A counter-offer is intended to make you reconsider your resignation, and it typically promises a salary increase or promotion. Things to consider before accepting:


▪️ Was your main reason for leaving is the work culture? No amount of pay hike, compensation, and training opportunities is worth staying if the work environment is not right for you.

▪️ The only offer is an increase in salary. On balance, your future career growth is at least as important, if not more so, than short term financial gain.

▪️ Has your resignation led to trust issues? Once your employer knows that you’ve been interviewing elsewhere, you demonstrate that you have the potential to be disloyal to the company.


The counter offer situation can be a tricky one to handle and will take some careful consideration.
