Received and offer and now my current employer is attempting to counter. What information should I share and what should I not? So far I’ve given the % raise and the new employer name...

Don’t play that game. If you take the internal counter offer, you have just shown that money is what drives you (whether that is true of you or not). It will paint a perception of you in a way that you can’t easily control. If you were far enough in your thinking to go get an external offer, follow through and move on. It’s a cleaner, more gracious exit

take the counter if money was the only deciding factor..

I had to share my offer letter to formally receive the counter..

Don’t accept the counter. There is a reason you wanted to leave.

What if the reason was more money.

Hi ladies - I am in need of some advice please!

Would you take up an offer with a higher title and salary in a new city on a so so brand or stick out your “path to promotion” at your current agency? Was told they would push for my promo to happen in 5 months. Should i bring up this offer to current employer or would that burn bridges?

Don’t think I am ready to move but the title and salary is guaranteed so don’t want to lose out on a golden opportunity ya know?

Thank you!

I recently asked my boss for a raise after discussing a yearly review with them.
