How do you deal with counter offers? I have an offer to join a larger tech company in a more senior role, with bonus and RSUs that my current start up can’t match. But my current company want me to stay. They offered an increased base salary which is still below the new offer and I went back and said no, so they might increase. This only came about by me exploring a headhunt approach after being underpaid by my current company for the time I’ve been here . Would you hear them out or just leave?

Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval). He replied “you’re an adult so tell them what you want”. I was immediately livid and felt it was a totally weird, condescending response. I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?

Just had the last interview of the second stage which consists of four 45mins interviews with different people. I got the feeling that the last interviewer wasn't focusing on what I was answering to him. No small talk in the beginning and he was slightly laughing where there's nothing to laugh about while I was doing my introduction. He also asked me the same questions (at least that's how I interpreted) and I had to repeat the same answer. Continue in the comments:
