Can anyone shed some light on quant funds please? https://groww.in/mutual-funds/escorts-tax-plan-direct-growth
I am seeing stellar returns and extremely low expense ratios but apparently since they're quantitatively managed algorithms, they don't account for things like corona for example.
Anyone nearby Barclays kharadi?

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.
Set sail, me hearty! On a serious note, never take a counter offer. At best, your company will resent you for having coerced them into paying you and you will be treated differently. At worst, your company will think they bought your soul and expect you to "go beyond, go the extra mile, live eat and breathe the company culture" and other unresonable expectations.
Never stay with a company that counteroffers just to keep you… It’s a temporary loss to them while they find a cheaper replacement for you before finding some reason to fire or lay you off. You have a great offer on the table, it’s time to part ways with your current company while you are still on good terms. Remember, there was obviously a reason why you were looking for a new job anyway!
Sail away, sail away, sail away! Even if they come in at $90k there will be hard feelings, a larger workload, and a target on your back at the current employer because they only value you at $72k. Take the extra $8k and pay off any debt higher than 5% and invest the rest in retirement, HSA, 529 for kids or whatever else and move on up!
Congrats on your new adventure! Good Choice!
I would accept the new offer. They are only countering because you have decided to go elsewhere. They should have given you a better increase to show your worth; they did not. Accept your new offer and best wishes for the future.
Don't get emotionally tangled to accept the increment in the current role. They've already lost trust and now they are wary of your moves more than before. They'll likely be on the look out for replacements who are probably entry level and whom they know will stick and continue to do the same with the new replacement for a few years (give them crumbs or less than) until they look for greener pastures and the cycle repeats.
New start is good anyways because you get to look through a fresh perspective. New people, new experiences these will likely enrich your life.
Good on ya dude! I countered a 47k offer at 60k, stating my last 2 roles were 67 and 75, and they rescinded 8 days later, Your post restored some lost confidence in my self perceived worth. Have fun with the games, sounds like a sweet gig.
If your reason was for salaries to quit for me, stay with your current company.
But, if the reason to find a new job was to join a new company to learn a new culture and learn new knowledge, take a new EA position offer. $80k (+ bonuses, profit sharing 401k).
If this negotiation went high that fast might be a scam ? Or something is wrong in this new organization. What is the industry average? Why does your current employer even know you got this offer and why do they care that you make a bigger bid ? Wouldn't they want you to stay? so many questions and red flags be careful. - Fashion and Beauty CEO

It seems the company that you are with now knows that you know your true worth and the devil that you know is better than the one you don't. You never know if the new company will keep up to with their commitment. But I can definitely see the attraction to a new company that shows you value by increasing your pay. You also have to remember that they would have paid you $57k if you said nothing and taken advantage of you as well. Can you trust them? Doing some research on the new company would be smart.
Hello Friend , Is there any job available at your workplace ?
They should have compensated you properly for your job BEFORE you felt the need to look. Happy people don't look for new jobs. Not in this economy. The new employer listened to what you needed. They could have said no. You are worth it!
Hi Missy Barber,
I dissagree with your "happy people arguement"
No one should expect a soulless multinational corporation to be a source of their happiness.
Everyone at certain points in their period of employment conduct an evaluation of their employer. It's always the smart to look at what your alternatives are & reevaluate what your value is to your current employer. Being happy or not is irrelevant.
I worked in a petrochemical environment as a controls engineer/ IEC lead. The competing Refinery in the Midwest offered a 15% increase in a comparable position plus relocation. I accepted the competing Refinery offer and notified my engineering manager.. Within one hour I was informed that after a conversation with Refinery management, they informed my boss that the refinery had a standing policy of exceeding the competition's offers rather than lose employees to the competition. Management egos' at the top drove this policy. I ended up staying even after refinery offering the position upped the final salary offer. As an employee, all you really have is your negotiating power especially after you have honed your skill set..
Counter offers are what they will reluctantly pay you while looking for a replacement, now that they have been alerted to the fact that you have been looking for new opportunities.
i.e. counter-offers are usually not a good medium-term or long-term idea.
Hello my friends ... how can I get a commis chef
Okay if the company low ball at the beginning and then they increase it by almost 30K more, don't know but it seems the hiring manager, to be a volatile one, guess the raise in the current position is a safer choice
Totally agree . Bigger and better. Move on!
If you never asked your first company for a raise to begin wiht then I would let your current company counter. As long as you are happy there.
I'm interested in remote work opportunities like this. Are there any open roles or hiring processes i could check out
