Hi! I recently received an offer from an agency I admire & whose reputation is really good (would be a huge boost to my resume). How do I go about asking them to re-evaluate their offer (haven’t signed yet) after receiving a counteroffer from my current place? Like how would I word it in an email? I would really like to go to the new place, but also more money would be nice 😭

Have you countered them at all yet? If not, then just go back with the offer and ask if they can make that work. Assuming it’s not a ridiculous difference between the two, I imagine they’d match.

I usually broach that subject with the recruiter that’s handling my hire. They WANT you to get hired and will have convos about how they can best make it work…

TY! Definitely won’t hurt to ask. I also plan on accepting either way!

Do you have to do it in email? Call your recruiter and explain your current company countered and you want to see what is possible before making a final decision. Sometimes it’s easier to talk it out than write it down. And I agree that they WANT to hire you. I’m also in the camp that taking the new offer will work out better than accepting the counter. But you’ve gotta play the game a little first.

TY! I tend to hide behind emails, but looks like I’ll be standing my ground over a call based on all the advice I’ve been getting! I’ll see how it goes, but I think I will accept regardless.

Definitely do this as a phone call. I’d just be honest and transparent with them. You really would love to join them, you highly respect the agency, etc. But your current place is trying to keep you and has countered with a strong offer. Can they match that offer?

Case 1: complaining about a date insisting on picking up the check as it makes them feel less independent.
Case 2: agreeing on 50/50, then being upset about why the date never picks up the check or treats them after 3 months of dating

In both cases, posted 5 days apart, they were advised to find someone else as it seems their date doesn’t respect their values (case 1) or value them enough to spend money on them (case 2).

Well, just 🤯
