What are the signs I should reject a counter-offer?

There are several signs you might consider when deciding to reject a counter-offer. For instance, if the reasons you wanted to leave your job still exist, or if the counter-offer is primarily a financial incentive without addressing your other concerns.

What if the counter-offer is significantly higher than my current salary?

A higher salary can be tempting, but if the underlying issues remain unresolved, it might not lead to long-term satisfaction. Consider whether the work environment or growth opportunities have changed.

How do I know if my employer is genuinely interested in keeping me?

Look for signs of genuine interest, such as a willingness to discuss your career goals, making changes to your role, or offering professional development opportunities. If they only focus on salary, it may not be sincere.

What are the risks of accepting a counter-offer?

Accepting a counter-offer can lead to trust issues, as your employer may question your loyalty. Additionally, it might not resolve the reasons you considered leaving in the first place.

Should I discuss my decision with a mentor?

Absolutely! Discussing your situation with a mentor can provide valuable insights and help you weigh the pros and cons of your decision.
