Name two good reasons a candidate should never accept a counteroffer.
a. Remember reasons you were looking to leave in the first place: commute, bad manager, not being paid enough, long hours, etc…
b. What type of company is it to work for where you have to threaten to resign before they pay you what you are worth?
c. Where is the money for the counteroffer coming from? Is your next raise early?
d. Your company may immediately start looking for a new person at a cheaper price.
e. 85% of people who accept counter offers are gone in the next six months; 90% of people who accept are gone in 12 months.
f. Your relationship with your boss will never be the same knowing you wanted to quit.
