TOP TIPS
Resignation & The
Counter Offer
You’ve handed in your resignation and a counter-offer lands in your email.
While it may seem generous, ask yourself why it required you securing another role to offer you more renumeration – there’s a reason you were searching for something new in the first place.
Accepting a counter-offer can genuinely feel like the right choice
Familiar responsibilities and colleagues can make accepting a counter-offer genuinely feel like the right choice – but your employer has been undervaluing you and ultimately getting paid more won’t increase job satisfaction.
Your loyalty could be called into question
Plus, because your current company knows that are were leaving, your loyalty could be called into question, and you may be first in the firing-line when the business is at risk of redundancies.
Change is good
Embrace the challenge of your new career and leave the job that was making you unhappy before the counter-offer arrived. There is no progress without risk and your dream career requires change to make it happen. From learning new skills to tackling new challenges and meeting new people, confident action now could unfold the next exciting chapter in your career.
