I’ve always heard you never take the counteroffer. There was a reason why you were job hunting in the first place right?
Every situation is different, but I can assure that the opposite is true for me.
i once took a counteroffer and biggest mistake of my life. chose comfort over career advance
Nah. Career advance over comfort any day.
My rule of thumb is to treat agencies they way they treat us. So I’d ghost the other agency, constantly ask for more things not in your raise agreement, and drag your feet on everything. #adlife
Are you being sarcastic or serious? Hope you weren’t being sarcastic because I agree with you. Why do we have to bow down to the holding companies when we’re just numbers to them?
Make the decision based on where you’d rather work as a human and from growth standpoint... you can mention the counter to the first place if you want to go there and they match it or at least try to get the $ up
SC1 - I’ve heard the same thing, but the main driver for me in this case was $. There’s still a lot I like about my gig.
Your team won’t remember it that way. You’re now marked
yes. you give the new employer a chance to counter offer. especially if you like the gig. simply say. i really want this gig. but i just got a counter offer to stay. they will ask how much and decide if they would match it. but then you should take that. the old agency will say they will increase it. but they should have went there the first time.
I went and got another offer in order to get a counter from my agency because I knew they would. It was a particular situation and the right move for me.
I don't think you need to tell the new place that you're taking a counter offer. More so thank them for their offer, but you just don't feel like it's the right career move for you st this time or something along those lines. Then it at least seems like you really considered it.
One advantage of mentioning the counter is that they may counter back... if they offer to match the counter, would you take it?
Be honest. It is a small world. They will know you stayed because you got a counter. Then you’ll be blacklisted. You are an adult. Be honest
