How to Negotiate a Counteroffer After You've Already Accepted

You landed the job, signed the offer, and then your current employer comes back with a raise and a promotion to stay. What do you do? In this episode of Salary Negotiation with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna break down the ethics, the leverage, and the hidden risks of reneging on an accepted offer. They walk through a real scenario: a marketing manager who accepted a $95,000 offer at a startup, only to have her current company counter with $110,000 and a director title. Lucas explains why accepting a counteroffer after you've already said yes can damage your reputation, burn bridges, and leave you stuck in a loyalty trap. Luna challenges conventional wisdom with data on retention rates after counters. They offer a script for how to communicate the counter to the new employer, how to ask for a final best offer, and when it's actually worth walking away from the signed offer. If you're in the middle of a job switch, this episode gives you a clear framework for making the call without regret. #SalaryNegotiation #Counteroffer #JobOffer #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Lucas #Luna #JobSearch #NegotiationStrategy #EmploymentLaw #CareerAdvice #Reneging #Retention #LoyaltyTrap #Compensation #JobSwitch #Ethics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
