I had a call with the Leader of my Consulting practice at Deloitte to let them know that I received an official job offer from a competitor. I asked that the firm matches my offer but they declined. It would’ve been an additional 13K a year to my paycheck. Scared if I stay at Deloitte after having this conversation, I’ll get laid off at year-end. How likely is that to happen?

If they wanted you to stay they would have matched the offer. Accept the external offer or keep looking.

I would not have another conversation with that partner unless they request it. You made your position clear and don’t owe any additional information. E-mail and schedule meeting with coach and engagement managers.

Go back to hiring manager and say upon much reflection you’ve realized how much effort it’s taken to build up your current network and to leave that network behind and have to build an entirely new one it would really take closer to a 20-25k bump. Is there anything they can do from a salary or sign on perspective to get in that range for you to seal the deal. If they say tough luck, you should prob still leave given what others have said above

This thread despite some unhelpful comments was insightful. I, too, am leaving my job for the first time. I decided I was going to leave unless Deloitte matched and once I received their no then the decision was easy. I made the case that I really would like to stay but financially it doesn’t make sense. Had they matched completely I would have stayed but I got the sense from my network that it wouldn’t be held against me because many wanted me to stay
