I got an offer for 30 % increase but since I was on the lower end of my band. I reached out to D and they matched the offer. I am staying since I am planning to have kids soon and the paternity leave is pretty generous here as compared to my new job.
Also, the other company was smaller and I like what I am doing right now
So it depends on case to case basis
