How to Negotiate a Counteroffer Without Losing Your New Job
from Office Hours with Fexingo: Daily Career Q&A, Workplace Questions, and Professional Advice · host Fexingo
You get the offer from the new company, you give notice, and suddenly your current employer says: 'We'll match it — or give you more. Stay.' What do you do? In Episode 58 of Office Hours with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna break down the real risks of accepting a counteroffer, how to negotiate it without burning bridges on either side, and the one question that can save you from a career trap. They walk through a specific case: a marketing manager who accepted a 15% raise from her current firm, only to be laid off six months later when the department restructured. They share scripts for talking to your new employer if you're considering a counteroffer, and three hard checks before you say yes. If you've ever been tempted to stay for more money — or wondered whether to make a counteroffer yourself as a manager — this episode gives you the framework. #Counteroffer #JobOffer #Negotiation #CareerAdvice #PayRaise #JobSwitch #OfferNegotiation #StayOrGo #Employment #WorkplaceStrategy #ProfessionalGrowth #Loyalty #MismatchedExpectations #EmploymentRisk #CareerDecisions #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
