I’m under 30 and have been working as an underwriter for 1.5 years. I recently received an offer from another company and accepted it. After resigning, my current employer made several counteroffers, and now I’m reconsidering whether I should stay if they exceed the new offer’s conditions.

However, the fact that I wanted to leave in the first place suggests that I don’t see a long-term future here. At the same time, it feels good that they’re trying hard to keep me—it makes me feel valued.

Leave. Take a new opportunity, there was a reason you were looking.

Here’s the thing you were out looking for a reason and nine times out of 10 that reason had something to do with money. All of a sudden your current company goes uh oh - I guess we should pay him/her, I don’t think so.

They should’ve paid you in the first place!

like

I think you should take the new position. The counter-offers will come with new expectations and strings attached. Don’t burn any bridges and you could boomerang back in a few years.

like

Most people who accept a counteroffer leave within a year. The underlying issues that led you to look for a new job in the first place haven’t been and likely aren’t going to be addressed.
