Don’t do it just go like it has been said they will except more and may just lay you off later you are looking so they missed their chance God opened another door for you a new journey with a raise walk through the door and don’t look back trust the LORD
If they don’t value you enough now to pay you a competitive wage then you shouldn’t have to threaten to leave for them to finally say they’ve been holding back. I hate that tactic (on THEIR part!) I shouldn’t have to go through the hassle of interviewing just for my current employer to see my value.
Once you resign you will know based on how they react and if they’re ready present you with a counter offer. Just my 2 cents never tell them where you’re going and always add a smaller % on your current offer if you decide to spill all your beans. My mentors always said..never to accept a counter from your current employer.
Walk man, that's the only way you will grow. Nothing wrong with your present company, I can see that you love it but loyalty doesn't pay bills. Just appreciate your company in your resignation, even but them a cake if you feel like it. All the best mate.
Why did you apply for the job and go through the whole interview process if you didn't want to leave?
Accepting a 15-20% bump as a counteroffer is basically letting them breadcrumb you. Except now they know you're ready to jump ship at any time but they have the upper hand. The job market is awful right now and there's probably 100 candidates who will line up to take your job and maybe for less pay. If you landed a good offer at a good company with better pay then take the job. Your current job wouldn't think twice about giving you the boot--don't let them have the chance to give you the finger!
You went out and posted for other roles for a reason, pay was probably one of them. I understand it is counterintuitive to just leave, but you went out and posted for a reason.
I would give them two weeks notice - they’re going to tell you everything they need to tell you when you put in your notice.
If your bosses first answer is, can we counter then let them counter. If the first answer is oh, we’re gonna miss you there you have your answer and you were never not wrong in going out and posting in the first place.
Good point.
You can try. Never hurts to ask. Just be ready to leave if/when they say no
Yep, but mentally prepare to jump ship
Put it out there and see what happens. If they can afford to lose you, then they will. If they feel you're worth keeping, they'll counter. But then again, they should have paid you accordingly versus having to threaten to leave. Hate when companies do this crap. My advice is to never take a counter-offer and I'm sure you know why. Good luck.
do not expect your current employer to counter offer you with a raise... go ahead and pursue the next job, get an offer, give notice, THEN see if they offer a raise... if you try to use your leaving to inspire your current employer to give you a raise, that is called "a threat," and not a good negotiation tactic... if you already know for certain that your director or her superiors are not going to cough up more money, just plan your exit and go for 35% more... that makes much more sense for your career than staying for less of a raise... consider yourself lucky and talented to be able to make a move like that and move on...
If you’ve applied for another job you’ve already left mentally. You probably looked for a number of reasons - pay is rarely the only one. This other reasons will still be there. It’s time to leave and grow in your next role.
If they’re willing to offer you an extra 15-20% in an attempt to get you to stay, I’d be asking why they couldn’t do that in the 1st place. If you’ve also previously shared compensation concerns with them and had no joy it’s clear they expect to compensate the minimum possible rather than your full worth.
If you’ve not discussed comp with them before, then it would be a good time to ask that question (don’t mention higher offer or that you might resign) and gauge their response some time prior to handing in your resignation.
It doesn’t hurt to try and get them to counter if you want to stay there. At the end of the day, the worst they can say is no, and then you give them your resignation. It sounds like either way it is going to be win-win for you.
“I’ve received an offer that will be really helpful with my compensation and benefits situation. I’d love to stay if there’s anything you can do to make it possible for me to stay.”
That’s it. If she says “let me see what I can do” the see what they can do. If they say immediately “we can’t / won’t match”, pack it up.
If you need the increase and feel this new company will be a better fix for you. I would put in my two weeks notice, and move on.
If you are 99% certain they won’t counter, then why are you discussing it?
You mentioned that your current company cannot afford a raise and may not weather a changing market. Those are the most important factors. Leave and learn to love the new company. Staying with an increase puts you at risk and the opportunity that you have now may not be around later. Best of luck to you.

I would LOVE to stay at my current employment because of the frequent raises and flow of operations but (younger new) staff is creating an undedicated environment.this new development coupled with the company being bought by a different company and also new manager AND H.R. has threatened my stable post in the company.how do i address the troubled (half my age) staff?
Don't waste your time waiting for your current employer to counter. What they will do is string you along and then one day soon you come to work and your replacement is sitting at your desk - now you have lost two jobs.
Your best and only real option is to turn in your resignation and move on. Remember it is better to have one bird in hand than none at all. It's tough job market.
Interviewing but you want your current employer to counter? You seem confused about how to manage your life. If I was your employer I'd fire you (unless you're young and I thought you just needed to learn something about life and that you would listen). Otherwise, you're fired. If your'e young, there's alot you don't understand and it's not your fault. You're young and this world has fed you a lot of BS and it doesn't sound like you've had wise guidance to the contrary. You need a mentor more than another job. If you're middle aged, no comment.
What a weird and pompous take. Seems like you've taken this a bit too personally. Had someone quit on you before you could fire them?
