Got a new offer - current gig countered by offering bigger role / title. Neither is a clear winner in the “chase the work” category. What to do? New brand? Or stay and help build where I am?

Take the new one, you obviously wanted to leave before. And if you stayed and there were ever layoffs, you’d be in the first round because they consider you a flight risk now.

Never take the counter offer. You wanted to leave for a reason. And now they know you have a wandering eye and it’ll come back to bite you one way or another — it always does. Good luck in your new gig!

How long have you been at your current company?

Same money? Or more at current place

Comparable either way

Thank goodness that’s not true. What brutal culture does digitas have?!

Cut loose. Especially if new brand can get you some better book pieces and more connections.

Leave. You don't really want to be there. They know that. You know that. Neither party will be fully happy. Try something new

Two offers? Congrats. You have great problems.

Don't take a counter offer. It's a much better move to leave and come back in a year or two. If they like you (and are likable in return) you'll be welcome, and you'll be bringing new value for the raise in pay.

Thanks, all! Your POVs much appreciated!

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
