[quote=Anonymous]I accepted the counter and it worked out. It had a similar situation, except I was “head hunted” by a new company. I was content in my job, but was feeling antsy and knew that peers in my field had jumped ship during Covid for more money so I entertained the recruiter and started down the path of serious calls with this new company. I never even received formal offer, but understood the salary ranges this company was able to give. It was moving fast!

I went to a former mentor and friend a few levels up at my company for advice. They pretty much said “do what you have to do” but then asked for permission to share with the leadership team (above my direct manager). I found out later that  they are encouraged to retain “top talent” - Which I guess I was. A few days  later I got a call from the highest VP in my organization - on my personal phone. They asked why I was leaving  (I said lacknof growth, new opportunities, etc) and then they said they would look into some things if I would  give them another chance. (It did rub me the wrong way because they also said negative things about the other company that i prob would not like it there and that it was below me. But I guess they were grasping at straws)

Long story short, I received a significant raise/counteroffer. Then 6 months later I was reached out to ”interview” for a position/promotion  in another organization. (This higher role better aligned with my new high salary) And my bonus/raise that year was based off of that new salary so 3-4 years later, I am still winning! [/quote]
