Pros and cons of taking counter offers? I’ve only heard bad things. Currently making $70k as a senior. Found a new job in industry paying $100k. My manager countered with a position of senior manager at $125k. They also said money was tight before but suddenly it magically appeared with no issue.

Lol take it and keep looking for jobs and get that $150k offer in 6 months

I wouldn’t stay if I were you. It will be the same story in a few years when you ask for a raise. I’ve seen this happen to many colleagues. Or they’ll say at your next promotion - you were already on the high end so your raise isn’t as much.

Personally I think that mantra fits the bill when they just match your offer. Otherwise, default to the old adage of follow the money.

like

you're currently a Senior and they countered with a promotion to skip the manager level to Senior Manager? Is this real?

I say take it if you think you can perform well for 6-12 months. Then start looking for the next role in industry as a director or above to potentially make twice of that measly 125k they are offering as a SM.

Yep thought the skip was odd as well

money is tight at KPMG? why the hell would they pay an SM 125k

Hi everyone!
I work as an outreach athletic trainer for a large 6A high school and middle school. I have a bachelor's degree and 5 YOE.

Any help, recommendations, or advice is greatly appreciated!
