@OP where are you based?

Chicago why?

Seriously, lol. And the offer is superior in every way, so there should be no debate.

So OP, what did you do? I’m in a similar situation with great WLB, but hesitant to jump back in the client facing circus despite massive offers.

Where are you based?

Random question but does Avanade offer any RSU’s at the Director level, upon joining?

OP - what practice did you join? Are you director or Snr Director?

4PQE. UK. Have been offered a job at another firm but they've only agreed to match my salary. I went back asking for more and have been sternly told that's not possible as I'm already being offered more than what their bandings allow.

The new firm seems like it would be better for the sector I'm specialising in but anyone else I hear that moves tends to get a considerable payrise! I feel reluctant to move if I'm not getting a big pay jump... Is moving for the same pay a done thing?

I gave in my resignation with a 3-week notice period. Always got good feedback from my manager and we generally got along well.
Yesterday he made this comment in front of my team when he made the announcement. "Don't let the door hit you on the way out". In context we were discussing how to reassign my projects. He then laughed like it was a joke, and I didn't react.
Should I bring this up in a 1-1 meeting or let it go? Is this humour or plain sarcasm?
