Received an offer for an EA position for $57k. I informed the company I would like $80k-$90k and they came back and offered $80k (+ bonuses, profit sharing 401k). Now my current company wants 24 hours to counter, I was paid $66k and recently got a raise to $72k but now they will minimally have to offer $90k+ for me to even consider staying.

Should I set sail for new horizons ? Should I counter again with the new company or is that greedy considering how far they came up? EA is a new position.

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.

Move On...the current organization your are with has demonstrated they do not value you unless they are about to loose you as an employee. You will find that the raise will not off set the realization that if they could have paid that salary all along, they should have done so freely without the threat of your leaving.

Make the new opportunity the most it can be - good luck!

Don't counter, don't stay. Move.

I would not counter the offer for the new position considering they came up that much because the new company might assume that you will just leave for another company for more money and won't stay long. That has been my experience from how management perceives it. But, I don't think you made a mistake countering the offer, we expect that.

Hello everyone, I'm new here does anyone have a job? I'm available ☺️

take the 80K and dont push it, the universe has its ways of making things happen, best too accept while its on the table

If they went from $57k to 80k+bonuses, switch jobs. They could've easily sent an "Unfortunately" email, but didn't, which means they want you and value your skills.

I would make a list of Pros and cons of both companies and compare them. Unless the reason you're looking for another job was only the money, your problem is solved. If not, those issues will still be there.
I would not ask for another counter. Looks greedy to me. Also, they may have interviewed other people, too, so it could go either way.

You got a good jump in salary -if the other company is good enough, ask for a raise after year 1 otherwise just switch to another one

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
