Why were you trying to leave ? Was it because of the pay ? WLB ? That might help determine if you should take it or leave . I have seen people get offers and go back to their firm to get a match or the firm telling them tell will match it / change their position or ink e some more incentive.

Is it an instance of them under paying you by huge difference with position change . Might be a red flag to leave , because why wait till now to increase.

I would use the counteroffer as leverage to get an even better offer from the new company to get you to leave. You wanted to leave for more than money (I assume) and those reasons won't change if you get paid more. As nice as it is to get a counteroffer, I wouldn't take it.

It’s more than money and I was thinking even if I take it I would probs still leave in a year because I’m bored

Hey Fishes,

Recently got an offer from PharmEasy for the Data Analyst role with a 30 % hike from current salary at Deloitte, where CTC is 8.1 LPA
But will have to pay in the training cost along with the joining bonus which comes up to 2.4 lac. Really confused what to do as I've been on bench for 3 months now with no learning opportunity and don't know what kind of projects I might get ahead and what about the wlb as compared to PharmEasy.
Some insights will be much appreciated :)
