I communicated why I was leaving…one of those being money. I asked if they could match my other offer among other things and they worked with me. Communication is key

I put in my 2 weeks after receiving a B4 offer in their specialized tax group. I built a very good rapport with my team, and they were reluctant to let me go from the firm in general. They took me out and made sure I spoke to everyone in power in our internal group as soon as possible. Ultimately my firm beat the B4 offer. I accepted since I already have a good reputation and connections internally, also don't lose out on unvested 401k match.

Due to some shake ups within the organization (big 4) the kind of work I was doing/enjoying got shifted away from my group. I made it known I would like to transfer to keep doing that work early on, basically to deaf ears, so I went about applying and interviewing at both internal and external roles. (August)

All internal roles were basically a nonstarter due to my groups new policy around no internal transfers until after busy season.

I got a very compelling outside offer in industry and I let my group leadership know, and the leadership for the internal roles I applied for and who liked me know my situation.

Instead of the prospect of losing me completely I worked out a transfer deal and the new internal group matched my external offer

It was a massive pain and I was/had to be willing to leave or no one was willing to make it happen

But I’m excited to be in my new group
