Help: Accepted an offer for 145k and 10k sign on. Tried to put in my 2 wks, current firm offered to match plus 30k retention bonus. Can I go back to new company for an increase to the sign on? It would be nice to get 20k from new company. I want to leave my current firm. Anyone done this before?

I want this new role. Best fit for my career.

“I’m really excited to join the firm, but have a bit of a problem. When I went back to give my two weeks notice they offered me a $30k retention bonus. Obviously that’s a tempting offer.

“I’d prefer that to not be a consideration; would it be possible to match that offer so I can move forward with you without mixed feelings?”

You are the best!

just tell ACN and I am pretty sure that they will match.

Hahaha. It's not ACN. Have you seen that work at your company?

Don’t be greedy. If you want to leave, leave.

OP this is the right time to be greedy. Any increase that you manage to negotiate now may take years to come otherwise

Where did you get this offer and for which service line??

Still in Consulting. Tech.

Update: I received an updated offer of 145k base and 20k sign on bonus. I accepted the updated offer from the new company. Thanks for your input.

Hey!

I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!

Also, if i resign now/next week and my last working date is after July 31st, i can still get my hike and bonus, correct? This is written in the employee handbook and my offer letter. I would appreciate if someone who has greater insights to reconfirm this.
