If you get a counter with a promotion, is that promotion immediate? Love the company I work for, hate the team. Want to leverage an outside offer to get a promotion and a new team

This sounds like a risky plan. Why is your manager not moving you to a new team? There has to be a reason. And another solution that doesn’t require you risking leaving a company you love and burning bridges. Even if you take the counter the company knows you’re a flight risk. At first round of layoffs, you’re out.
Also don’t waste another company and teams time if you have no intention of taking the job. I spend a lot of time interviewing people and finding a good fit.

If you were indispensable, they’d hire a team around you. Our industry is notorious for having one rockstar running an account by themselves, saving money on a team, then burning them out.

From what I’ve seen, the promotion isn’t necessarily immediate, even with a counter. Could vary from weeks to a months and that depends a lot on finance/profitability. Would suggest asking for timing and hold them accountable!

Already on a list to be promoted but taking forever and yes I know I have to be ready to take the outside offer. Any advice much appreciated!

Hi everybody,

Looking for some insight/curious to hear how others would handle this situation:

I have an offer I want to accept; I was trying to negotiate for a signing bonus… but they’re not budging.

The issue is, the start date is in a month and I’m up for a promotion in a week at my current company. I would like to leave before I get promoted, I think it would be pretty low of me to accept and promptly quit.

Not the new employer’s problem? Or can/should I try to leverage this?

Asked for a raise and was told to wait for the annual raise period even though I was doing extra stuff on top of doing my job at a very high level and they would not budge at all. I started looking around 2 months ago and I just signed an offer for a new position with a raise just above 50% of my current salary. Know your worth and go get it!!!

Does anyone know what steps need to follow as I already made my tax payment.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
