I’ve seen it happen, but of those that stayed, most ended up leaving anyways. I recommend never taking the counter because something had to trigger you to leave in the first place. Right that list down, and remind yourself why you took time to interview anyways.

That should be “write that list down.”

I’m in industry and I love where I work. I just need to be paid more and the title. Currently have an offer in hand and waiting on my employer to make a move and match it. I think they will but I’m interested to see how much they’ll match

That would only happen if you are poached by another employer

Yes, this happened to me years ago. I got an offer for about 32k more than I was making at the time. I was only making about 58k at the time so a 90k offer was immense for me. The firm I was with matched the 90 (someone more senior was leaving and I took his position for the increase in pay), and I ended up staying 4 more years there and learning so much more

Wow nice. I don’t expect my firm to match (about 20k increase). But I could definitely be wrong!

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
