Has anyone ever accepted a counter offer from their current company? I received a great offer today (way more money, higher title) from a new agency and when I submitted my resignation my current company asked what it would take to keep me. I’m really flattered and I do really like my current agency, but I’m afraid that by accepting a counter now I’d be screwing myself for the future. Meaning, if they gave me a $40k raise now, for the next few review cycles I wouldn’t get much, if anything.

I'd never accept a counteroffer. There was a reason you were looking. Like the fact that they're underpaying you. Now they're on noticed that you're 'disloyal'. You'd be first in line for layoffs, and like you said, you wouldn't get much for raises.

If you don't like the new agency, perhaps you can come back after a period of time, but I wouldn't accept a counter. Good luck!

I accepted a counter offer but that's because it wasn't only for more money. It also was for fewer hours and more flexibility, which I needed as a new mom and didn't know they could offer. So if they're asking what it would take to make you stay, be honest and comprehensive.

Not sure I would accept a counteroffer. Once I’ve decided to go, I’m done and there’s not much that would make me stay. Plus in your mind you’re already “gone”. The counter won’t change why you wanted to leave in the first place.

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
I am SAP HCM consultant having 4.10 years of experience. I feel that this module doesn’t have any growth. My first switch took me to 9LPA from 6LPA and now the second switch is being offered for 11.5LPA where I can see my fellow friends in SAP having more than 15LPA at the same experience on their second switch itself. Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.
