Hey folks at EY GDS — curious to hear real experiences around retention discussions/counteroffers within the organization.

Have you or someone you know:
• Received a retention hike/promotion adjustment after putting in papers?
• Been retained successfully by leadership?
• Seen cases where the org matched or improved external offers?
• Are people still eligible for YER hike if they get revised offer in July month?

Would appreciate honest insights, timelines, outcomes, or advice.

Thanks

I went through this recently. I had retention discussion. It was not successful. They did not match the external offer I received, nor were they willing to come close to it.

I have heard of people whose salary got matched. Usually it's around 30% and if the person is very critical and has good rapport.

I was told that even if I get retained, the normal appraisal cycle hike and bonus will be given although the hike will be lesser than usual. But of course I can't vouch for it.

The timeline communicated to me was 2 weeks, i. E - after discussion and agreeing to a hike number they'll take 2 weeks to send a revised offer letter.

Oh any idea why? And how Long

I was retained in Dec 2025. In my scenario, the offer was not matched. I had got an external offer with 40% hike. With HR negotiations in EY, I got a deal of 25% fixed and 6% Retention bonus(one time). I had personal situations which favoured being retained. The process took quite long. Around 20-25 days from resigning I had discussion with my talent consultant for negotiation. This was later approved by leadership. I would say I had approx. 15 days left when I got official offer letter. Before that it was all verbal agreement. Hope this helps.

Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).
