What jobs are currently paying 85k?
Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

There is a reason that most people who accept counter offers still end up leaving within a few months; because money alone is usually not the only factor that causes people to look. If they could have been paying you $12k+ more for a year or more before you sought another offer elsewhere, then you know that they don't value you or they would have paid you more sooner.
Take the new offer. Congrats and good luck!
Agreed, one of my regrets to be completely honest. I walked into my boss’s office told him that I was quitting. Got a better job offer across the street. He stood up, walked across the room, closed the door and said how much money is it gonna take to keep you here. I gave him the number he didn’t even flinch. He gave it to me. Then the next six months was pretty miserable. I got more money, but still hated the culture the structure the environment and then ended up quitting six months later. I should’ve just accepted the job, stuck to my guns and left. By staying I missed a great opportunity to join a great company. 
As someone who worked in recruitment, taking a counter offer is never good.
Why be loyal to a company that could RIF a person, maybes give the person 15 min to get their stuff and escort them to their car or the property gate to ensure they leave. If two weeks notice is the minimum professional standards for employees, why aren’t large company’s held to the same standard.
My last company did give me two weeks, but I’ve seen the same company pop a surprise HR meeting and the person barely got time to get their personal stuff, and it wasn’t for cause.
Just an aspiring video game designer, just graduated from College with an Associate's Degree in Game Simulation and Development and a certification in both Game Programming and Computer Animation, Congrats on the new Position
Yeah once you ask your current employer to counter, they see you as unreliable and they will be looking for a replacement. Be free, little bird.
With inflation that salary way below standard update rates. You could of asked for 120-150k. Which is the going rate now for senior talent.
While forced into the new company, it's the right call. Generally when I look I don't even bother thinking of staying because if you do they will hold it over you. Like next year "well we arent going to giver you a pay raise because we just gave you more money 6 months ago to stay" or expect a lot more because of you.
It's generally not worth it unless its for quite a bit more or a better position. Congrats on EA!
As a graduate of Estate Management and Valuation from one of the Universities of Technology here in Nigeria,Can anyone recommend me to a reputable firm/organization that I will work with that can earn me nothing less than $200 a month?
I need job
I have found that if they wanted me to stay they would pay accordingly. I had one company that countered with a better offer than my new company offered. I unfortunately stayed and they retracted the offer when I agreed to stay, after I had turned down the other company. Make sure you get it all signed and in HR’s files before you say no to the new company if you stay.
It has always been my belief that once you make the decision to move on, stick to your conviction. If the company you are currently with had the ability to properly compensate you all along, then why had they not already done so?
Sounds like both companies are CHEAP. If your current employer comes up with $90K, I would take that and stay. The cheap company you know and how to navigate that just increased your salary by $18K (over your last raise) is safer than some new company that started offers at $57K before increasing will likely NOT give you large increases and may take 2-3 years to get to $90K and also you risk rejection from the new company that could continue their search to get a cheaper EA. Net net $90K and STAY!

Yeaaa, it didn’t help bc my current employer is not the midst of a buy and sell / constant acquisition/ seeking investors. So right now any change (especially a bigger jump in salary) they were avoiding at all costs. So everything lined up the way it should and I’m very grateful for this new opportunity! Thank you !
Assuming other factors between the two companies are similar, it is time to move on and start fresh.
I would leave. They didn’t see your value until someone else wanted you.
Throw you're hat in the game for $90K, but Definitely take the $80K and leaves them in the Dust anyway, because now I could be Wrong, but it's a safer move for you as unlikely youre gonna get the $90K and they're probably gonna think your greedy after that and perhaps only bad things will come from it even if they pony up the 90K

I felt that way too! So on to a new chapter it is !
Hey see I just
things will never be the same if you stay .
If the old company really valued you, they would have already been paying you more. The real question is do you want to dance with the devil you know, or a new one.
Never, ever, ever take a counteroffer.
Move on and best of luck.
Depends on why you're leaving. I know I stayed with a company that countered, and I regretted it. Good Luck
Salary is a hygiene factor, not a reason to leave or stay in a position.
Set sail If you are ready to excel in your new environment!
