Do you negotiate with your current employer after accepting a job offer from another company or before ?

If you haven’t negotiated during your yearly review, my recommendation is to then do so after getting an offer because you will have something concrete in hand to show to your employer if they ask.

But truly, if you already have a job offer on hand, you should just leave because there must have been a reason why you interviewed in the first place so that may happen sooner rather later.

I think s/he is asking whether to negotiate before or after accepting the offer, meaning they already have the offer in hand, but haven't accepted it.

Definitely before. Trying to negotiate an accepted offer just makes you look bad on both sides. You’re either going to try to back out of the accepted offer or you’re wasting everyone’s time at your current employer by trying to negotiate when you’re not seriously going to consider staying, which could end up burning bridges as you leave.

As a former recruiter, here is some generic data, but 80% of people leave their company 6 months after accepting a counter offer and 90% leave within a year.

Most people aren’t leaving only for monetary gain…

If you’ve got an offer externally, and it’s better than your current (at least 10% higher ) I’d 100% leave.

Go with the new offer…landslides don’t slide up hill. If you’re looking elsewhere there’s nothing behind you. Keep moving forward.

I have only ever done this AFTER receiving an offer but BEFORE accepting it. I have also done this to companies when I’ve had multiple offers on the table. If I have multiple offers or one company I interviewed with makes an offer, I will tell the other potential employer that I have an offer on the table from another company (I don’t disclose the other offer amount until I receive an offer from them, if theirs happens to come in lower). Bottom line is, once you’ve either verbally accepted or signed, it’s all over. But letting your current company or other competing companies know you have an offer may pressure them to go ahead and make one and for them to work to come up with a better number, just don’t do that after you’ve accepted.

like

Definitely before. It does make it harder to decide if your company comes back with a counter offer. Once you accept one of the offers, you'll be burning bridges with the other.

Before. Don't accept an offer unless you are ready to go to that company.
