I work as an FP&A and am on the market for a new position after almost two years with this company because I know the value of the duties and responsibilities I have, but the compensation is lacking. I have 6 years experience and am talking with multiple recruiters with a few leads - nothing is set in stone yet. Any advise on how to approach my supervisor when/if a new job offer comes my way

I’m an agency recruiter and recruit for accounting finance specifically. I suggest you really think about why you’re looking. And never take a counter offer. I see it hurt people more than it helps majority of the time. If a new job offer comes your way, and it’s an opportunity you’re excited about, you accept the position and submit your resignation. That’s all there is to it. If you don’t like the new opportunity, don’t accept it, and continue your search.

Don’t keep your job search money motivated. If you get a counter offer (fyi a match from current employer isn’t a counter, it’s a match, a true counter is MORE than new offer to stay). If you take the counter, you won’t get another raise for years, and you’re burning the trust bridge between you and your leaders since now they know you were looking, and even worse, they very well could be offering the counter to keep you around for 6 months to keep the work going as they find your replacement for cheaper, trust me, I’ve seen it to the best people. You’re better off finding the right next opportunity for you, with a fresh start and stronger growth potential, and moving on. You’ll make more connections and gain more experience and that’ll be better for you than accepting a counter and staying with the same place.

I think it's fair to let your supervisor know that a recruiter approached you with an offer from another company. Let them know how much you've been offered & give them the opportunity to match it (or give you more). If they don't, well then you've got a better offer and a ticket to making what you're worth.

I agree with A1 and R1. Let them know that you are on the market and let them know about the other company's offer. Who knows, perhaps they would want to compete in terms of pay in order to keep ypu from leaving.

You can ask for a raise first if ever you receive an offer. That is if you want to stay there first. But If the offer is good, then you should grab it. Your supervisor will match that offer if they really want you to stay.

I think you're getting some solid advice here and to jump on to this - the convo is v dependent on your relationship with your manager. At some roles, I've literally just pulled them aside for a chat before formally resigning, letting them know what I'm going for and why (agree on not taking a counteroffer - devalues you in the long run IMO) and with others...it was literally just a formal resignation email, no chat no nothing because we just weren't that close and I didn't see the point
