Are counter offers ever worth it? Specifically when you resign and your current company wants to match the new comp?

I disagree. My VP left and tried to take me with him, my SVP was extremely chill about it and said “let’s take money of the equation, I want you to take the job that’s right for you” and I ended up staying with a raise. His response was labor is a free market and sometimes adjustments need to be made. That was months ago and extremely happy I stayed.

Yes, gave him the story as I was essentially resigning to take the new gig. It was a meaningful amount of money at 4 YOE, about 30-50k so was ready to leave even though I had no intention nor was I looking to leave. But his reaction was very sincere and honest. I’d say this is a very case by base basis but I had a good experience staying.

Nope, there will always be the almost shameful feeling that you wanted to leave and it will mess with you mentally

Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k. I’m a mid-level Executive assistant with 6 years of experience and currently supporting 5 executives at a fortune 50 company. One C level and 4 Vice Presidents. I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.

Do you get the feeling that there is a higher image promotion of women/minority people in Tech?I have seen way to many pictures from major tech companies that promote far more women/minorities than white males in their marketing materials.Wouldn't be better if we hired the best people no matter what the race/gender is?I know some companies are not publishing any gender/race stats but you cant't really demand a 50/50 ratio.Also there is no coincidence that most execs is some companies are British. So this goes both ways.
