I had a discussion with my employer about a better opportunity I received. She counter offered it. Any advise, if I want to stick to my current employer? I really like to work with my current employer because of challenging work. I get the same in new company as well. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful?

If you like your current role and they countered with a higher salary- id stay.

The grass is not always greener and while money lures several people to new jobs, it often turns into a golden handcuff situation where the pay is higher, but the work and environment turn out to be lackluster.

Ive worked for bad employers and enjoying youre day to day work and team is worth more than just a paycheck.

A lot of time the situation is reversed. You dont like your current work, get an external offer and your current employer counters to keep you. Stats show that people often still leave within 6-months.

Food for thought

If you like your current role and they counter offered, accept the counter offer. It sounds like you know that’s what you want to do. You just need someone to say it.

If pay was your only reason for leaving then stay. Otherwise go.

So it takes counter offers to get get better compensation at your company. Why would this make you stay?

I never counter offer because I can never make a person who’s trying to leave happy. Whether looking outside to manipulate compensation or to genuinely look for other opportunities, the end game is the same: the person will leave.

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be.
