How to evaluate a counter-offer

 


It's time to resign...and the company you work for wants you to stay. What should you do?

Here are some factors to consider about a counter-offer:

  • If this offer had been made before your resignation, would you have accepted it and stayed?
  • Are you really happy with your job, your supervisor, and your future with this company?
  • Is there any plan for advancement or promotion mentioned for you? Did your supervisor explain a career ladder for you?
  • What has really changed besides money since you gave notice?
  • How does this opportunity compare to your new position?
  • If there are staff reductions in the future, do you think you'd be asked to stay? Remember, you just volunteered to leave. Would you still be considered a loyal staff member?
  • What about future raises or promotions? Will you have to go through this process all over again to get what you want? Is it worth it?

Think carefully before you make a final decision. Your future professional growth is at stake.
