Have you or a candidate you worked with ever regretted accepting a counter offer to stay with your current organization? Were you or the candidate able to go back to the company you turned down the role with and ask them to reconsider you?

How was this handled?

I used a job offer as leverage at my current company to get a well deserved pay raise. I thought this was smart because I loved my job, I just wanted my pay to reflect industry standards. I was young and naive, so it never occurred to me that they would consider it a loyalty concern. They laid me off 4 months later, as soon as they were able to promote someone to replace me. The other offer was long gone, but I thankfully found a job making a bit more.

I work at an manufacturing company as a technician. My job title is a technician but they use me as an engineer as-well. There are three techs overall in the company. My boss who hired me understands what my degree is in so he uses me to design parts and write reports. The plant manager doesn’t know my skills so anytime I’m in the office working he calls me to the floor to do something the other techs can do. Should I have a talk with the boss about it? (I ran out of characters)

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
