Not usre if this is the right place,but here it goes:
Scenario: Filed a resignation because of two reasons: 1.) Need for more financially rewarding job, 2) Seeking recognition for achievements.
Status: Already received a job offer from another company that will pay 40% raise,and expected to report after 30 days notice. But after 2 weeks, current employer is offering 50+% raise and a 3-level jump promotion thru internal hiring. Seems new task being offered is challenging enough but doable, and has enough "interest-factor" in it. Commute not a factor, since comparable.
Question: To accept counter-offer or not? (pls say reason, practicality, ethics,etc)
Internet search suggests not to accept, but i want to hear views from real persons. Honestly im leaning towards NOT accepting the counter-offer and move on to the other company--main reason is that i have already given my commitment to the new employer. But current employer is exerting some serious effort to retain me. Please advise. tnx
