[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you leave on good terms any chance you could go back to your boss that will still be there over the next 10 years? And maybe get a higher salary?

Or maybe your boss will surprise you and offer a nice counter to keep you.[/quote]

NEVER TAKE THE COUNTER OFFER.[/quote]

NP here  Why not?[/quote]

I don't buy that for a second. I did take a counter offer, and in addition to getting more money and a higher title, I was able to move up in the organization where things were static for me previously. And yes, I had previously asked for raises and title and more responsibility, but it wasn't until the boss actually realized that others saw my true worth that it finally kicked in. Yes, it sucks that it has to be that way, but only you can decide what's best for you. Sometimes you need to get external validation in the form of another job offer to show that you are worth and capable of more. (And, at least at my organization, only select people got counter offers, so you do have to be ready to walk.)[/quote]
