I just got an amazing job offer after three months of searching, but my current company immediately hit me with a massive counter-offer. I know the common wisdom is to never accept the counter because you’ve already broken trust, but the convenience of staying is tempting. Did anyone here accept the counter and actually have it turn out well?

There's a reason you are looking for a different position. Companies don't just suddenly find budget for a counteroffer. Even if you accept, your higher budget likely puts you at the top of the list for budget cuts.

You must have been looking for a reason. A little more money in the bank will not take those frustrations away unless it was about money in the first place. If you asked for more money and they declined until now, then that will tell you a lot about the company you work for.

Hi all! I need some candid advice from y'all. How do I get my manager to see my value and see that I'm actually doing a lot of work? For some reason all the other departments & teams I work with always say how grateful they are that I've joined the company because I've really been cleaning things up & making their lives way easier. But for some reason in my manager's eyes all I do is "meets expectations". I already am doing senior level work as the only senior on our team left a month in... (1)

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. I have colleagues doing intense data science tasks as BI Analysts, and can’t help but feel indignant on their behalf because when hearing their job title, one would underestimate their technical ability.
