Should you accept a counter-offer from your current employer?
April 16, 2024
Let's explore the pros and cons of a counter-offer:
Pros
Salary/Perks Increase:
Current employers may offer more to keep you, providing immediate benefits. But this may only address short-term concerns.
Career Growth:
Promises of career development can be enticing, but true growth often comes from new challenges outside your comfort zone.
Cons
Long-term Issues: Accepting a counter offer may not address underlying reasons for leaving, such as lack of growth, job satisfaction or cultural fit.
Comfort Zone:
While familiar surroundings are comforting, growth often lies outside it, and changing jobs can lead to personal and professional development.
Ultimately, the decision depends on your circumstances and long-term career goals/career fulfilment.
